mount -t smbfs //89.150.0.197/C ny This is pretty straightforward. The shared drive named C is mounted to a directory named 'ny'. After entering this command, I enter my password at the prompt. This worked great for a long time, but suddenly, I've been having problems. The first thing I usually do after mounting the drive is enter 'ls ny' to verify that the drive is mounted properly. But lately, when I do this, nothing happens. I leave it sitting a while, but still nothing happens. If I close the terminal window, open a new window and try to unmount 'ny', I get a message telling me that the device is busy. Actually, this message appears twice. If I close the terminal window and mount a drive on a different computer to a directory named 'nj', it works fine. I unmount it, then try to mount the first computer to 'nj' but it still doesn't work. Something must be wrong with the first computer, but what? When I use that computer directly, however, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. It seems like something needs to be reset, but what? Any assistance is appreciated. -- Steven J.
