Networking :: LAN FS

Mounting a shared folder requires the mydsl extension samba.dsl.
This will provide LinNeighborhood which does allow such.

Within the base 50MB of DSL we offer smbclient which provides an ftp like interface to Window's shared folders. From the main menu...
Apps->Net->SMBclient

tried to load samba.dsl, but nothing happened. unlike some of the other extensions i tried, no inf file opened or anything. i let it set for a while, since it might take a while to download. after 20 min, still nothing. i have cable internet, so i shouldn't have taken that long. i had dsl loaded on a laptop (ibm 380xd). i needed to get to my shares on my xp box, but couldn't. i had vector linux installed on it before, couldn't connect to my shared printer, but could mount my shared files or drive. with dsl, i could connect to printer, but not to shared files. so ,i put win98 back on it (please don't slap me), at least i can do both. i want to get away windows, at least on one pc (for now), but not if i cant get linux to cooperate.

ok, ran dsl as live cd, downloaded samba.dsl and saved to desktop. went to mydsl, chose load local mydsl extensions and it put samba on the desktop. so i reinstalled it to harddrive, did the same thing, but nothing happens now. what am i doing wrong?

I also get basically no response with samba... I tried using SMBClient but I may be giving it the wrong parameters. In the "Domain:" space I entered my LAN IP (192.168.0.1), for the "Machine:" space I entered my Windows machines name, I left the "Shared:" space blank, and I tried both of my Windows accounts for the "Name:" and "Password:" fields. What should I try next?

Domain= the domain that your network is setup on. ie MSHOME, etc...
Machine= the name of the computer you want to connect to.
Share= the name of the share you want to mount. in terminal type "smbtree" and it will list the computer and shares for that computer.
Name= enter your user name that you logged into windows with.
Password= enter the password (if any) that the above user used to log into windows.
