Try smbclient -L [ip address of host] -U [valid user name on host] to get a list of shares on (B). If you don't get anywhere, then you may need to edit /etc/smb.conf. If you do get a list of shares, then try: mount -t smbfs //[server name]/[share name] [directory to mount to] For instance, let's say your (B) box is called windoze and it has a share called home. You'd create a directory on your Linux box ( usually in the /mnt directory) called /mnt/here. Your mount command would be mount -t smbfs //windoze/home /mnt/here If everything goes well, you should be able to run a directory of /mnt/here and see you're windows files. Let me know if you need more help. Good luck. On Sun, 2003-11-16 at 10:43, Bryan Anderson wrote: > Doug B wrote: > > > I see it's an XP box.
