Hi,
I have a curious problem I encounter when trying to use the mount
command to view shares on my girlfriend's Windows XP machine.
I am ping her machine via both DNS (which is statically set
in /etc/hosts) and by IP address.
But ...
I can only mount shares via her IP address, not by her DNS name.
Please find the terminal output below. Any assistance / suggestions
anyone could provide would be great. Should this be filed with bugzilla?
[root@tony-wired pdab100]# mount //amber-wireless/documents
/amber-comp
Password:
mount error 5 = Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
[root@tony-wired pdab100]# mount //192.168.1.20/documents /amber-comp

[root@tony-wired pdab100]# cat /etc/hosts
