[Bug 521397] Re: Unable to mount shares from Windows ME

[David Lee Lambert]

OK,  I found a message on the Samba mailing-list that helped.

http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs-
client/2007-February/001720.html

Using that,  I figured out a work-around:

# mount.cifs //PurpleComputer/DQFILES /purple/dqfiles/ -o rw,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770,gid=dq,credentials=/root/for-PurpleComputer.cred,ip=192.168.15.6,servernetbiosname=PURPLECOMPUTER
(success)

Having to hard-code the IP address is an annoyance,  but in my case it
is in fact a static IP address.  If it wasn't,  I could put the
following in a script:

mount.cifs //PurpleComputer/DQFILES /purple/dqfiles/ -o
rw,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770,gid=dq,credentials=/root/for-
PurpleComputer.cred,ip=`nmblookup PurpleComputer | grep '<00>' | cut -f
1 -d ' '`,servernetbiosname=PURPLECOMPUTER
