Hi All,
Newbie question here.

I'm running DSL ver2RC1 but I'm not sure if it's an RC question

I've tried mounting a windows share with the following procedure

in a root shell

mkdir remote
mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=topsecret //102.32.0.129/temp remote

this returns
mount:wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //102.32.0.129/temp, or too many mounted file systems

Do I need to do anything to the NTbox apart from sharing the dir ?

As long as the folder is shared on the NT box you should be okay. From the error, it looks like Samba is not installed. Download the Samba.dsl file and try mounting the share again.

Good Luck

Using the Samba Linneighborhood gui is alot easier as well

When you burn your cd, just hotload the samba.dsl in the root of the cd and it will autoload and be ready to go!

P.S. This is the method I use to rescue a virused or crashed out M$ OS..just boot with samba.dsl...mount the hda1, mount the shared M$ dir on another network machine with enuff HD space to store the data...and offload all the data to the network share...wipe the infected drive, re-install and then I have ALL the data from the old machine saved

Of course, all this help depends on the assumption that you have already visited the myDSL repository and installed the "samba.dsl" extension for your computer system.

Sometimes I like to point out the obvious in case it was over-looked.
