smbmount to win2k machine

[ekbranson]

Ok, first of all, I am new to linux. What I am trying to do is mount a drive from a linux server to a WIN2k computer on a domain. Samba is installed and I can sign on as root. The problem I encounter is that I can not establish a connection with any computer on the domain except a windows machine that I use.

smbmount //win2k_computer/test test/ -o username=myusername
timeout connecting to 10.250.32.45:445
timeout connecting to 10.250.32.45:139
Error connecting to 10.250.32.45 (Operation already in progress)
26461: Connection to lotis2 failed
SMB connection failed

Has anybody had a problem connecting to computers on a domain?

hmmm... looks like an iptables issue.

issue:

iptable -L

and take a look whether ports 445 and 139 are closed or open.

The iptable is a linux command? I just removed windows firewall from one of my test computers and now I have

[root@doc1 me]# mount -t smbfs //win_XP_comp/"test share" test/
Password:
Anonymous login successful
29432: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed

Oh yeah, I also am using the mount command now. As far as I know the ports are not restricted on the windows computers.

Are you logged in under a user name that is the same as a user on the windows box?

Forget about smbmount for the time being. Try conencting with smbclient //[windows_machine]/[share] -U [domain_username] and see if you can get connected. Also, //win_XP_comp/"test share" should be "//win_XP_comp/test share" if I'm not mistaken.

Ok, i figured this out. zeland thanks for the suggestion, this is how I figured it out. The smbclient would connect using the domain of the computer.

smbclient //win_machine/ -U username -W domain

However, I had been trying to mount the windows box like this

smbmount //win_machine/share mnt_point/ -o username=domain\user

and this did not work. SO, I found if you put the username in quotes it works. Hence a frustring day with an easy solution.

This was the fix

smbmount //win_machine/share mnt_point/ -o username="domain\user"

Thanks everyone for your help.
