Hi,

sudo mount -t cifs //PHOENIX/hitachi /media/phoenix
mount error: could not resolve address for PHOENIX: Unknown error

Hi bab1,

Thanks for your help. Now I think I understand a little bit better how this works. I read the other thread you pointed to and yes, it looks like my problem is more similar to the one...

Hello,

I have exactly this same problem. However, I do find it hard to believe that I must have a local DNS server OR that I edit the /etc/hosts file in order to make it work. It just sounds way...

Hello,

I'm also having this issue. Also found the overlay scrollbars difficult to use, so I removed them but now the scrollbar doesn't have the scroll buttons and I do need them. Also, the shade...
