I have another computer I would like to be able to access. I already
have networking setup between the two system under windows, but I want
to access the other computer's files while running this one in linux. I
have a linksys router, and the adress on the other system is
192.168.1.101. My system is 192.168.1.100. Here is the fstab entry I made:

192.168.1.101:/dev/hda1    /mnt/network/192.168.1.101    vfat
noauto,kudzu,user,rw    0 0

I keep getting server is down errors or /dev/hda1 does not exist. How do
I set this up? Should filesystem be vfat or nfs?



Andrew,

After the target machine's IP address you need to specify the Windows
share name, not the hardware device. You'll also want to change 'vfat' to
'smbfs'. And since a machine or domain logon will almost certainly be
needed, either add username=<arg> and password=<arg> or
credentials=<path_to_credfile> to the options list. See 'man smbmount' for
details.

Okay, the names of the windows drive is simply the partition name "C." I don't have it setup to require username or password. What is the correct format for the fstab entry?

192.168.1.101:C /mnt/network/192.168.1.101/ smbfs noauto,user,rw 0 0
