I've been searching the net over and over for a manual on how to correctly mount my server's shares on my ubuntu box.
Your instructions work like a charm, your post is the best that happened to me since my switch.
my sincere thanks!

glad to know it helped. but thanks also need to go to the good folks who have posted here and helped me refine the howto.
enjoy.
Have allowed read/write access from the windows machine, used the second line in fstab, mount -a gives:
Code:root@UBUNTU:~# mount -a
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //DESKTOP/C,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
what is the output of smbtree? also post dmesg | tail
hi.
first of all, very helpfull guide! made a lot of things clear for me. thanks for that. but i still have a problem...
accessing my ubuntu-laptop from mij windows-desktop is no problem. the other way round doesnt work...
i did everything in the tutorial (with DHCP) and i get no errors, but when i do, nothing happens. or it takes a long time and then i just ctrl-c. so i suppose i did something wrong. i'm not at all an expert, so if you explain something to me, please do it like in your tutorial :)Code:sudo mount -a
thanks in advance...
Maarten
ps: if there's anything else you need to know from me, please ask.
first, please post the line you've added to fstab
also ... post the output of smbtree
thank you :)
ok, this is the fstab thingy:smbtree:Quote:
//MAARTEN/Pbs2 /mnt/samba cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_ mode=0777 0 0
but it's different from the last time...Quote:

also, sometimes, in nautilus, 'MAARTEN' appears (which is the windows pc), but when i click it, they say: "couldn't display all the contents" or something like that.
i must note that there are several other computers in the network, with different workgroup names, i haven't configured those. so for now i don't ware about them. i'd just like to get on \\MAARTEN
\\craptop is the ubuntu laptop.
thanks for the quick reply :)
humm ... try this instead:
also post the error that follows when you do this:Code:smbtree --authentication-file=/root/.smbcredentials
Code:sudo mount /mnt/samba
the mount took a long time againCode:maarten@craptop:~$ smbtree --authentication-file=/root/.smbcredentials
ERROR: Unable to open credentials file!

Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
have you installed and configured firestarter on your ubuntu machine? how about a windows firewall? (zone alarm, norton, xp's firewall)
you should be able to authenticate to the share with smbtree unless there is something blocking your access. so if you have firewalls turned on, try disabling them temporarily.
