Bottom line is that I'd like an application running on the SCO Unix box to create files in a Unix folder (/GregUnix) which is mounted/linked? to a folder on a Win98 box (\GregWin98). I have a VB program running on the Win98 machine that looks for changes in the \GregWin98 folder. I tried pointing the VB program directly at a drive mapped on the Win98 box to the unix folder but it didn't detect changes as they occurred. (It does work if it's pointed directly at a Win98 folder)
This is what I've tried so far...
I added the following line to /etc/hosts (using the correct ip):
192.123.456.789 Win98server Win98server.myloc.com
I then ping'd Win98server and that appeared fine:
11 packets transmitted, 11 packets received, 0% packet loss
On the Win98server I created the folder \GregWin98, shared it as GREGWIN98, full access, no password.
On the unix box I typed:
mkdir /GregUnix
mount -f NFS -o rw,bg,intr Win98server:/GregWin98 /GregUnix
I was given the # prompt and about 30 seconds later I got the message:
# mount: Win98server:/GregWin98 server not responding (1)
: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
and a minute later:
# mount: giving up on Rtcserver:/rtcstuff
I tried the same command with uppercase GREGWIN98 and got the same results.
FYI: # uname -a
SCO_SV scosysv 3.2 5.0.5 i386
Help! Thanks, GregG
