hai friends,

i was trying to access a shared folder in my windows server.
I heard that i can mount a windows directory to linux and access th e folder, For that i issued some commands... i don't know whether i am correct...
the command which i gave was :
mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=passwd1234 //server/website /home/mount


Anyway i got some errors, which says


"4377: Connection to server failed
SMB connection failed"


i didn't configure any samba yet....


somebody please help


regards

manu

Hi Manu,

Yours Windows Server has Firewall enabled? Free access for your samba client.
Cheers,
