I am trying to mount a network drive. I am pritty sure you chose access nfs drice after you do a ./fsconf. I go to add and I put the IP of the server in for server. The server has a bunch of directories you can map (ex software, branches, etc) and when you map it in windows you put \\server\dir so I have been putting one of the dir names in the Volume, and setting the mount point to /dev/servername. When I go to mount it, it says "mount RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused, return 32" How do I get this to work? Thanks

oops, typo. I dont know why I typed /dev. I was putting it in /mnt/servername.

What are you mounting? NFS or SMB shares. Also if you are getting conection refused there is no service up. basically mouning NFS is similar to any file system

or perhaps on windows shares mount -t smbfs -o username=? ,password=? //z22sbs/jmars /smb
Summary: Heeeelp!! Again one silly question. How do we map a network drive under Linux. The drive's name under Win98 is J. Do we use the mount command? I read a few articles and since my English are not that g...
