Centos 6.3 can't resolve hostname of network drive while others can

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I have a network drive (external network) being used as media storage for a media server running on my router. I'm trying to switch the media server to my Centos 6.3 machine so I can take advantage of ffmpeg and more (unrelated).. All I'm wondering here is why my Centos server can't resolve the host name for the drive while my laptop running Ubuntu can on the same network. Ubuntu can ping it by host name and receive a response. Though I know Ubuntu has a GUI and I can click on "network" in the file system and find it there smb://ballzdeep it says is the location of the drive. Centos is sans (HowTos)

Stories similar to Centos 6.3 can't resolve hostname of network drive while others can

I had a CentOS home server, running Samba - which died after a local (but short) power outage. Unfortunately, I didn't run it on a UPS.

Now the CentOS box won't get on the network...

I elected to mount the hard drive in my Ubuntu desktop box, and copy off the contents... which brings me to my question.

#smbclient //ballzdeep/torrents Server not using user level security and no password supplied tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

Does this mean i need to require username and password for my drive? Windows,Ubuntu connect to it with their GUI's but i can't get CentOS 6.3 to also.

HOPEFULLY SOMEONE CAN HELP, IM LOST!!

Hi Folks,

Could anyone please point me to the right direction as I have spent so much time on this without luck. :wall:

I have installed Bind on my CentOS 5 server for internal network.

I have a Iomega Home Media Network Drive Cloud Edition 1TB that started clicking and then displayed a failure LED code Power LED and Red LED. I removed the SATA drive and inserted in a 'All in 1 HDD Docking Station' and connected to laptop by USB - Laptop has Win 7 OS. The dock is seen as drive E but cannot access and says 0% data etc.

[ubuntu] Elusive Network Drive 3 years 14 weeks ago

I recently bought a Dell Mini 10v running Ubuntu 8.04. This is my first plunge into the world of Linux. On my home network I have a network hard drive. Sometimes when I log on to the Mini it can see the network drive, as well as the other computers on the network, sometimes it doesn't see anything on the network.

Fair warning, Im a beginner at Unbuntu.

Hello, I've been trying to mount a network drive and I always get error 13 access denied.

This is what I have been trying.

1. downloaded and installed smbfs 2. sudo mkdir /media/public 3. gksudo gedit /etc/fstab 4. At the end of the file I typed:

# Mount a network drive //172.16.23.23/share /media/public smbfs guest 0 0

Then I saved the file. 5.

I have a CentOS 6.3 machine running several guest CentOS 6.2 VMs. I would have liked to setup a filesystem passthrough between the guest and the host but it seems that this functionality is not supported in CentOS 6.X as of yet.

I've been thinking about possible workarounds.
