I have got gentoo linux to work. however, samba will not mount the share of my other machine that is running smb server.


Quote:


woolly root # smbmount //chilledcore/fat /mnt/share1
Password:
6130: session setup failed: Call timed out: server did not respond after 20000 milliseconds
SMB connection failed




strange enough, it works when i mount a share from a windows machine.
please help.


is there a way to raise the time out limit?

It is waiting for the password you want to use
Code:
Passsword:


Try specifying the password in the smb command. man smbmount

try smbclient -L //computername
to see if it is finding those shares

it might not be resolving the computer's name correctly, in which case you can try //ip.address.of.share

it sounds like you have your samba server security set on user, i believe...try setting it on share.

security is at share... I still have no idea... i might recompile samba on the server to see what happens.

is your other machine linux/gentoo or windows? if it is a linux box then why not use an nfs mount instead of a smb mount?

From his first post, it looks like there is a Windows machine on his network.
