I am running winXp in one machine and made one drive as sharable. Now from my other machine, running Mandrake Linux9.1 and samba, I want to view the windows drive and share the files. How can I achieve this. Here are the two parallel steps I took

1)
on Linux
mkdir /mnt/d
mount //<windows machine name>/d /mnt/d

this gives me errors

2)
on Linux web browser type
smb://<windows machine name>/d

It shows the d:/ drive but doesn't show any files inside

Does anyone have any idea about how can i solve this! Any help welcome.

Take a look in the Library section of this site under File Systems/Mounting smbfs Shares Permanently. It will give you the proper syntax to use along with some general instructions.

And if you get further errors, please tell us exactly what they are. The error messages could very well tell us where the problem lies.

Please don't post your question in more than one forum; we don't allow cross-posting.

Stick with your original thread, your description of your problem was more informative in that post anyway.

:)

(I've moved your original post into this forum, since your problem involves mounting networked shares.)
