smb://192.168.1.1/SHARENAME
did work and did allow me to access the files on SHARENAME.
ThE command smbclient -L WINSERVER
would list all the shares on WINSERVER.
Numerous incantations of smbmount and mount -t smbfs all failed however. i was receiving error messages that
"SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it"
Googling on SMB signing led me to info that CIFS is included in the 2.6 kernel and can be used to access Windows shares.
I now use the following command to mount Windows shares
mount -t cifs -o user=LINUXUSER,domain=DOMAINNAME,uid=1500,gid=200,rw //192.168.1.1/SHARENAME /home/LINUXUSER/mnt/WinServer/SHARENAME
the command is all on one line.
Or you can use smbfs to mount the shares at boot time with entries in /etc/samba/smbfs like: //server/share /media/<mount point> username=xxxx%xxxx,uid=<username>,gid=<group name> all on one line. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)
