Map network drive Problem

mtrivs · 2006-02-06 08:20:09

I have a 2 network drives i need access to here on my campus. One with the address

 \mdrivestudentsMYUSERNAME

and the other with the address

 \ntserv5faculty

I have samba started, but i am still unable to logon to the network drives. Can someone give me a starting point for this? Thanks in advance!

For accessing samba-share you don't need a started samba server. You can access them with konqueror

smb://path/to/share

or smb4k (aur), also gui-tool or with smbmount (console).

After trying

smb://ntserv5/faculty

i got a server timeout error, but when i boot into windows i can connect to the share fine, without problems...... what should i do?

Thanks in advance!!

I think you should check you network-settings under linux, especially your IP and the /etc/resolv.conf. Universities normally use dhcp. You can reseive the IP via dhcp using
[code]dhcpcd eth0[code]

I am already connected and have recieved an ip from the campus......However i still get the timeout.......

Find out the ip under windows and then try smb with the ip instead the name.

Did you use any type of firewalling?

i used to use iptables, but i removed it so that i could try and get my network drive up and running..... I will try and get the IP next time i go into windows........
