Can someone help me please.
I have a laptop running win 98. On my main box I run linux fedora core 4
trying to see my win 98 box in fc4
Ie created my mnt directory called Laptop
tried this line mount -t smbfs -o username=JPH //JPHLAPTOP/Documents /mnt/Laptop

I getting an error smb failed to connect or smb failed connection.

Can anyone lend some insight to this?

thanks

try:
smbmount //JPHLAPTOP/Documents /mnt/Laptop -o username=JHP
(of course as root)
works fine with me (Fedora Core 3/Samba 0:3.0.10-1.fc3)

I tried the line suggested still got the same error.
any other ideas or reason that smb is failing?
I have a printer that is an ip printer that is picked up and printing fine, so I figure that samba is working correctly,
