Hi: (kubuntu 7.04 KDE 3.5.6, background in slack and rh)
I am unable to connection with a windows computer on my network.
My smb.conf file can be seen at
http://www.johnsons-web.com/demo/ubuntu/smb.conf.txt

The following command:
sudo mount -t smbfs //barbara/c /mnt/barbara -o
 username=tim,password=******,uid=1000,gi
d=1000
## returns the following
6479: Connection to barbara failed
SMB connection failed
## NOTE: successive calls to the command returns a different number
## each time. I assume it is a PID, rather than an error ID.

The syntax following `sudo' works on slack 10.0. Mountpoint appears
to be correct, uid and gid match dump from `id tim'

samba is configured to log at /var/log/samba/, but I don't see anything
there.....

Thanks
Tim

You SHUT OFF your Windows Firewall didn't you?

There isn't any. It's XP - the only firewall is the router,
and the same command works from other linux boxes

I'm writing myself up for "lack of attention to detail"
I forgot to put an entry for `barbara' in my hosts file.
I placed the following:
192.168.1.5 barbara
in /etc/hosts
and then executed:
sudo smbmount //barbara/c /mnt/barbara -o username=tim,password=******
<grin> Thanks for the help!</grin>
