TCP name > brightlywoven/SharedDocs not found > No ip address specified and hostname not found If it's of any help, I mount the remote directory 'fileserver' which is on a box called 'gaia' with this line in /etc/fstab: //gaia/fileserver /mnt/fileserver smbfs guest,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 ...and this results in the following output from the 'mount' command: //gaia/fileserver on /mnt/fileserver type cifs (rw,mand) It is worth mentioning that there is an entry in /etc/hosts for gaia. Probably I should update fstab to use 'cifs' but it works fine as it is. -- Bob Cox. Stoke Gifford, near Bristol, UK.
