Mount network folder error

English Network/Internet
1

i’ve got a openSUSE 11.0 file-server, and two other desktops. one with winXP pro and the other is also openSUSE 11.0. i’ve setup all the SAMBA shares, users and passwords. i can access and map the shared folders on the winXP but not on the openSUSE desktop.
here’s the command i typed:

mount -t cifs -o username=myname,password=mypassword //10.0.0.249/sams80gb/muziek /mnt/mntsams80gb/muziek

i get this message/error:
retrying with upper case share name
mount error 6 = No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

i’ve searched for two days and tried every suggestion i could find, but no luck. can someone please help me?

From a terminal window on the client, what is the result of:


smbclient -L //10.0.0.249 -U<username>%<password>

Try:


mount -t cifs -o username=myname,password=mypassword
//10.0.0.249/muziek /mnt/mntsams80gb/muziek

Notice that “sams80gb” is not a share on the server. Make sure
the directory “/mnt/mntsams80gb/muziek” exists on the client. The following

Glad it works, go have a beer. Sometimes it just takes a second set of eyes on
a problem.
