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.
