So instead of smb, you have cifs which is what is commonly used now to mount directories that are shared by windows or other samba servers. mount -t cifs //ipaddress/shareName /mountPoint It will prompt you for a password. If your windows server is indeed expecting a password, you will need to supply it. On my winXP Pro machines, there is no per user authentication required (yeah... very secure!!!), so when I am prompter for a password, I just press return. The share is mounted read/write. Good luck. _________________________________________________________________ Get back to school stuff for them and cashback for you. http://www.bing.com/cashback?form=MSHYCB&publ=WLHMTAG&crea=TEXT_MSHYCB_BackToSchool_Cashback_BTSCashback_1x1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
