I went to YaST > System Services (Runlevel) and checked on smbfs. It had an asterick next to it and smb. I hit enable and smb started. However, smbfs gave tme the message,
/etc/init.d/smbfs start returned 6 (program is not configured):
Not sure what that is.
confusion, rcsmb /= rcsmbfs
OK. I see a cryptic name and just figured it was related. :O
Running rcsmb status still shows as dead.
Trying to connect from Windows still shows unable.
Is your Firewall up ? Try disabling it.
No firewall.
as root: rcsmb start rcnmb start
both *must* be running, then try access from windoz machine
start -> run -> \\111.222.333.444\
