Dear all,

I am trying to access a windows share on one computer from my SUSE 9.2 box using either smb:// kio-slave on konqueror or the smb4k application. Neither seems to be working anymore, as the authentication fails and keeps asking me for the password, while at least via konqueror it was no problem last week. I tried several accounts and also tried changing passwords.

I can, however, access a share with user and password on another windows machine. Duh...

Anyone seen this behaviour before?

Cheers, Kostas

I've seen similar behavior with my SuSE 9.2 box when trying to connect to a w2k3 box. In this case the server's netbios name did not match it's dns name. The workgroup of their server was geog. It's on a different lan than myself. The dns name was www2.geog.theirdomain.org with an ip address of 172.20.122.4. This command works: mybox:/mnt/smb/studentserver # smbmount //studentserver/class class/ -o username=g4323_22,ip=172.20.122.4,workgroup=geog This failed: mybox:/mnt/smb/studentserver # smbmount //studentserver/class class/ -o username=g4323_22,ip=172.20.122.4 Password: 9622: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed This also failed: mybox:/mnt/smb/studentserver # smbmount //www2.geog.theirdomain.org/class class/ -o username=g4323_22,workgroup=geog Password: 9636: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed It apparently requires the netbios name in the service string, as well as the workgroup of the server and it's ip address in the options.
