Hiya. I'm having problems connecting to a Windows machine with SMB4K. I can see the shared disks just fine, but I can't connect to them. It keeps asking me for a username and password. I've tried running smbpass but even as root it won't let me change the password. I'm completely lost here. Any ideas?

Hi, I've had problems using GUI's to connect to winxp shares in the past, Does it work from the CLI ?? The following command should be all on one line,"*" denotes a space Edit to suit your network,username and password mount -t smbfs -o* username=YOUR-WIN-USERNAME,password=YOUR-WIN-PASSWORD* //YOUR-WINDOWS-PC/YOUR-WINDOWS-SHARE* /home/YOUR-HOME/tmp Also run the above as root or use sudo Cheers Wayne

Rather than having to use sudo or root access you can also use the smbmount command: $ smbmount //YOUR-WINDOWS-PC/YOUR-WINDOWS-SHARE /home/YOUR-HOME/tmp -o username=YOUR-WIN-USERNAME,password=YOUR-WIN-PASSWORD
