Topic: Connecting Linux workstation to users IBay

[Ted]

Maybe I just don't know where to look but I have been unable to figure out how to connect my linux workstation (Suse 9.3) to my IBay on my SME 6.5 server.  E-mail is no problem that comes through fine.  When I boot into XP I can easly get to my files directory in my IBay, just not under Suse.

Help or even point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Hi Ted
There's several ways you could use to see samba shares (ibays) on your server from a SUSE box

You should be logged on to the SUSE box with a username and password that match one that has access to the ibay. For some things it helps if the workgroup entry matches the workgroup on the SME server

Gnome has a network browser

smb://servername/ibayname or smb://serveripaddress/ibayname
in the "address bar" of Konqueror or gnome

at the commandline, su, then
mount -t smbfs //netbiosname/sharename mnt/yourmountpoint (all one line)

hopefully one of these (or all) will work for you - it can sometimes be, er, "interesting" to connect from linux. You might also find yourself entering your account name and password often. I haven't had any trouble with this on Ubuntu, though.

Hey, it looks like we're neighbors
