mounting ntfs to beable to download from server

[Hansoj]

I've got samba running and everything workes fine as long as I'm on the local network. But I want to mout the ntfs partition on /mnt/musik and make it visible on the net. The problem Is that I can see the files but not download them. I have no ide of what's wrong. Can someone help me?

Using: mount -t smbfs //username/directory /mnt/musik
tried -r and -o r but that didn't work.

Please be more specific about your problem.
You have a dual-booting server, where there's a partition for music; this partition is ntfs and shall be available as share when you booted your gentoo-linux.
no what you are already able to is mounting the ntfs locally.
Do you mount it rw or read only?
you put it in your smb.conf file like what?

and on the client your using this command:

SOrry if I was unclear.

I've got a small network setup, with the gentoobox as a router/webserver (no the security isn't that good)
and behind I've got a Windows XP machine.
Ofcource It should be //machine/direcotry and that's what I use. The directory is on the XP-box, ntfs direcoty, and everything works on the local network. I can read the files and copy them. But then I trie to access the from the net I can't download them. If I use the same php and webbserver On my windows XP box everything works and I'm able to download files. But then I mount them with samba to do the same thing I won't work. I'm guessing somethings wrong with the mounting making users accessing the files from the net not work.

try using smbmount instead of calling mount directly that might work slightly better. (or maybe not it might just call mount anyway, i'm not sure)

when typing smbmount I get

"This command is designed to be run from eithin /bin/mount /by giving the option '-t smbfs'

I'm guesing it's the same
