I have the same problem. opensuse 10.3 and kde 3.
Have you tried the mount with the IP address rather than server name? I not certain whether this relevant but you are also not passing a username which means you are attempting to login with the contents of $USER.
I use this line in fstab: //172.16.168.128/COMPARTIDA /mnt/smb/bambi cifs noauto,user 0 0 It is a Win-Me virtual machine in a vmware in the linux host, the same one I try to connect from. From konqueror I connect without problems: it asks for user and passwords, and works. nimrodel:~ # ping bambi PING bambi (172.16.168.128) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from bambi (172.16.168.128): icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=42.4 ms 64 bytes from bambi (172.16.168.128): icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=17.9 ms - --- bambi ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 2 received, 33% packet loss, time 2009ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 17.949/30.197/42.446/12.249 ms cer@nimrodel:~> mount /mnt/smb/bambi/ Password: mount error 1 = Operation not permitted Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) It doesn't ask for the username, but it is the same as the local user (cer). If I change the fstab line to //172.16.168.128/COMPARTIDA /mnt/smb/bambi cifs noauto,user,user=cer 0 0 I get: nimrodel:~ # mount /mnt/smb/bambi/ Password: mount error 2 = No such file or directory Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) I change back to //172.16.168.128/COMPARTIDA /mnt/smb/bambi cifs noauto,user 0 0 and retry: nimrodel:~ # USER=cer mount /mnt/smb/bambi/ Password: mount error 2 = No such file or directory Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) On other ocassions I get host down, which is false. I have never been able to connect to any samba share except by using konqueror. Never. Not in my machine, not in others.
I would suspect Konqueror is using old style SMB connectivity rather than the more recent cifs which might explain difference.
It has been said that cifs is buggy and incomplete :-(
It also depends a bit whether you are using a workgroup or a domain (IIRC cifs does not really work well with workgroups).
I'm not sure what Win-Me uses. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
