...access a network drive... - ArchonMk - 2006-09-14


Hello !

...like the title says, only a li' bit more ... well.. screwy :). I connect to a slack 10.2 server from my computer using root uname&pass and i want to access my cd-rom from that server... :)

How do I do that? :)

C'mon, nobody knows how to do this ? :)

Well, I'm gonna update my request...

Well, I've been google-ing on this, and here is my "updated" problem :):

 

What i want to do in to mount a network drive from a windows machine.

I have tried the following command:

mount -t nfs //<windows machine ip>:<windows share> <linux destination>

 

 

and the error i get is: mount: "can't get address for //<windows machine ip>"...

 

 

...OR...

 

smbmnt smbfs //<windows machine ip>:<windows share> <linux destination> -o

Failed to find real path for mount point smbfs: No such file or directory

 

 

what could the problem be? :)

Hmm I am not 100% sure what you mean here, you connect to a Slackwarew 10.2 server from your local machine and you want

to access the CDROM of your local machine? or the servers CDROM?
