I was wondering if anyone knew how to connect to a windows share. I know the server, ip, share, workgroup, and I have a username/password. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

`man smbmount` is pretty helpful

here's some typical mounts i use: mount -t smbfs //matt/c$ /mnt/smb -o username=Administrator mount -t smbfs //slug/space /mnt/space

in your case you want: mount -t smbfs //IP/SHARE /mnt/localmount -o username=USERNAME then when you hit enter it'll prompt you for PASSWORD -mike _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug

Also:

smbclient -L <IP> or maybe it's smbclient -L //<IP>

is a helpful command to list the shares available from a machine with that IP address.
