http://ubuntuforums.org – Hey, I'm having trouble mounting a windows share. In windows I just click "Map network resource to disk" or something like that and write the address - \\server\share. No password or anything. Using ubuntu, I tried adding this line to fstab: //server/share /mnt/win smbfs defaults 0 0 Is this correct? Since I don't need a password in windows, I shouldn't need user credentials here right? How would I go about finding the log about the mounting attempt? Thanks. (HowTos)

Stories similar to [kubuntu] Mount windows share.

I don't know what else to try... The share in Windows has permissions to "Everyone" set to read/write, which shouldn't matter because I am mounting the share using the administrator name and password.

I am also using -o rw in the mount declaration.

I have tried about a dozen different variations of the mount statement and none of them have produced a writable directory.

Is there ANYTHING else I

I have a few conditions to meet with a new samba setup.I want to migrate a windows based share to a linux samba share. However this time the share is in the regular corporate LAN and I do not have the rights to add this samba server to the corporate windows domain.

I am having a problem with a windows share which I want to mount into a folder.

We have a CIFS share on our network. I have a centos 6.3 server in which I want to map the share. The problem is that when mounting it in /etc/fstab I have to set which user (and password) to use. The problem is that the linux server has many users.

Hi,

I am mounting a windows share using the following entry in /etc/fstab:

We are running CentOS 6.3 with all the latest updates. (Attempt to resolve this issue) The Server I am trying to connect to is a Windows Server 2008 R2 box. Though this applies to our old SBS'03 Box too. I can mount the share, browse it all I want. Copy stuff off of the share and it keeps chugging right along.

I'm a little stuck and I hope someone can help.

I'm configuring Ubuntu 10.04 x86 to work with a windows domain with multiple users.

All users need a specific network share mapped. I am using Likewise Open to join the domain at the moment.

This is what I've got so far.

Code: mkdir -p /media/S chmod 777 /media/S

Added the following line to /etc/fstab //[SERVER]/[SHARE] /media/S cifs username

I have a Synology NAS with a "Windows" share configured. When I click "Browse Network" => "Windows Network" in Nautilus, all I get is:

"Unable to mount location

Failed to retrieve share list from server "

Note: This has worked 100% fine before, and I HAVEN'T CHANGED ANYTHING.

Any ideas?
