This morning I made an interesting discovery. If I am logged on as root (yes, I know, I don't like it either), and I enter: 'mount -t smbfs //IGOR/O /root/mnt/IGOR/O/' and, of course, enter the correct XP password I can access the XP files from the linux machine Why can't I do this as a user? More importantly, what do I have to change to enable the process as a user? On Sunday May 15, 2005 05:04 pm, Stephen P. Molnar, Ph.D. wrote:
Well, that was almost a red-faced forehead slapper, except - - - - after I started the samba name daemon I managed to logon to one of the WinXP directories once!!!!
Then I logged off and attempted to log back on to the same directory and got a Can't resolve address error message.
I have, however, made a small amount of progress. Thanks to another suggestion I downloaded WinSCP and installed on the WinXP machine. So now I can move files form the win machine to the linux machine, and vice versa, on the XP machine.
The only energy barrier left is from linux to XP.
Please keep the suggestions coming.
Thanks in advance

Another strange problem that has occurred after upgrading my system from v9.0 to v9.3.
In 9.1 I could access Igor, a MS XP box on my LAN via either Krusader or Konqueror via Samba and/or LinNeighborhood.
Up until today, the linux browser could only see some of the MS directories that were accessable in 9.0 - strange point number one. For some reason, starting with a fresh boot this morning the browsers now see none of the MS directories.
LinNeighborhood used to work, in 9.0, with out complaint. No more! It can see all of the direcories on the XP machine, but when I attempt to mount one I get:
smbmount //IGOR/P /root/mnt/IGOR/P/ -o username=Administrator%*****,fmask=644,dmask=755,uid=0,gid=0,ip=,debug= 0, wo rkgroup=ffc,port=139 Can't resolve address
Is the samba name daemon running? Check with "rcnmb status", start it with "rcnmb start" if it isn't, then try again
