Umm, shouldn't there be two names in there? You need both the host computer name and the share name to mount a SMB share remotely. It looks like you have the computer name but not which share to mount.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Hi all<br>I must, as usual, miss a point somewhere :<br>I have a windows 2000 machine here and I need to share an external HD plugged<br>in it with my Linux Pcs.<br>I have enabled the sharing option under windows, (though I have not restarted
<br>it yet for a good reason),<br><br>From any linux machine smbtree is finding the windows PC (Taranaki)<br><br>gascogne#smbtree<br><br>WINDOWS<br> \\TARANAKI<br>MDKGROUP<br> \\RIMUTAKA Samba Server
3.0.2a<br><br><br>Now I try to<br>smbmount //taranaki/ /mnt/external_hd_on_taranaki<br>password : blablabla<br><br>Connection refused ... :-(<br><br>I made sure that the share under windows is as unsecure as possible by giving
<br>al sort of rights to everyone, suggesting that I am doing something wrong<br>somewhere...<br><br>Any suggestion welcome to sort this out, I have 500 Gb of data to transfert<br>and it is painfully slow via scp...<br><br>
