 |
|
I have compiled in kernel CIFS support as a module.
I have installed samba, mount-cifs.
I created mount point /media/server
I want to connect to samba server using gnome - CONNECT TO SERVER, or I was trying: mount -t cifs /192.168.1.1 /media/server, or smbmount //192.168.76.4 /media/server
But anything doesnt work.
I also made modprobe cifs |

There are two errors in that: First you have to prepend the server address with "//" and second you have to append the ressource exported to the server address, you can't just mount the server as such. Say you have a share (directory) called "dirname", the command will be | Code: | | mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/dirname /media/server |
It should work then. |

also keep in mind the security permissions involved may complicate things.

The first check is whether or not the server is exporting the directory. I _think_
the server configuration file is smbd.conf, somewhere under /etc.
You can also use one of the samba utilities to check from a client what a server is
exporting; see the man pages, because I can't recall the exact name.
