But your using 9.0 in which "smb:/" works. It does not work in 9.1.
I have to disagree. In my 9.0 is type smb:/ and it fails, a fresh install of 9.1 up to date with YOU worked just fine without doing any configuration at all. There must be more to it. Type of network configuration etc. Mine are simple non-domain workgroups.
There is more to it... At home I have a domain.
One of my machines, named work (WIndows XP Pro), is not in the domain, instead is a workgroup of the same name.
The situation is as follows:
If work is running, smb:/ works if not, I get an error.
Then again, the machine I'm testing from is not in the domain either!

Update... remote working on my father's home network we discovered the following: smb:/ gives Internal error smb:// gives file:/ (root dir) smb:/jimw gives eternal loop smb://jimw gives eternal loop smb://jimw/ gives all shares on machine jimw smb:/jimw/C$ gives eternal loop smb://jimw/C$ gives contents of disk C Additionally, we had a hard time getting this to work, at the end, we mounted a share with mount -t smbfs -o username=jimw,passwd=xxxx //jimw/vnc /mnt/jimw/vnc and then all of a sudden things started working... Maybe this stuff will help someone figure out whats going on... Jerry
