adding '/' didnt work, there must be a way

hi

i found out how to mount samba shares with this command

smbmount //"sharepath"/ /"mountpath" -o username="windowsusername", password="windowspassword"

and it works.

however on my widows machine i share the root of a drive. so it comes up as "harddrive (E)"

when i try and mount it i get this error..

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

any ideas on how to mount this share ?

im not sure. it sounds like you may have som other problem. it shouldn't just work then stop after a while

ok ill give tht a go.

i would aslo like to know if anyone on these forums uses mandrake as a router, and if so have you encounterd a simler problem as i have ?

also why dose mandrake use ipv6 if ipv6 is not needed yet.

bump

still doesn't work...

hi i have mandrake 10.1 my linix box acts as my router shareing my internet connection between all my computers.

everything works fine however ever hour or so i get this message

eth0:no ipv6 routers present

eth1:no ipv6 routers present

every time i geet those messages none of my other computers have access to the internet.

i added this line to my modprobe.conf file "alias net-pf-10 off"

but i still get the same problem. im certian it is because off the

eth0:no ipv6 routers present

eth1:no ipv6 routers present

messages i get in syslog they are always the last thing to happen before my internet connection shareing stops working.

this guy has a similer problem

any ideas ?

how do u actualy update the mandrake OS, if you go to the mandrake control center and choose updates, dose that update the OS or just some programs runing on the OS.

basicly what is the best way to get mandrake fully up 2 date ?

:D

wow i have used this thread many times when ever i set up a mandrake system. it always works without fail.

flightcrank said he wanted to know what all this code means ? i would also like to know.

dose anyone here know what each line does ???

is linix able to block a certian ip ??.

there is a computer on my network i want to block without blocking ay other of by network computers.

can anyone help me out ?

Sorry, but this statement couldn't be left alone.  Indeed, you have to tell the machine to do ip forwarding.  Madrake isn't network unfriendly..  Non network people find networking unfriendly.  There is a lot to networking.  Just because doze finds a cute way to put wizards together to hide what is going on and allow shcool kids to "set up networking" and really don't have any idea how a network works, doesn't mean Mandrake isn't network unfriendly.  Look at any real OS.  You are expected to know something about networking to set it up, or at least be able to type intelligent search criteria into google.

it is un friendly when compared to other os's, why do u think this thread and many like it exist,

idiot

win xp is way better. for dvd ripping + encoding

more programs

more support

user friendly

its just way better for dvd ripping at the moment any way

lost of people have problems with mandrake. its a ok distro but not as good as the others, sorry i cant be of more help

someone should make this thred sticky or add in the FAQ. because it works !!!!!!!!!!!!

what is the system restore option in linux

i think linux dose need a defrag option, i have found that i can hear my had drive seekinf files when i double click them. where it didnt a week or two ago,

in windows when that happens a defrag cleans that up. so linux probably would benifit form one
