Samba with Win9x and Millenium

[Guest sergelli]

I need know if Mandriva One 2009 and the last version of samba, works with Win9x and Milleniom.

 

My network don't mount PCs with win95, win98 or Millenium

The Internet connection is O.K.

The findsmb command can see all Pcs

The ping command work fine with Pcs'names or IP numbers

The name of workGroup is O.K.

The name of server is O.K

The smb.conf is O.K.

The file /etc/hosts is O.K.

 

When my fstab protocol is cifs, like this line:

//VENDAS/C /mnt/C cifs noauto,user=xxxx,passwd=xxxx,exec,rw,umask=000 0 0

and type on the prompt:

#########

[root@LINUX sergio]# mount /mnt/C

########

That is the error messag

 

mount error 112 = Host is down

Refer to the mount.cifs(Legal manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

 

When my fstab protocol is smbfs

//VENDAS/C /mnt/C smbfs noauto,user=xxxx,passwd=xxxx,exec,rw,umask=000 0 0

 

That is the error messag

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //VENDAS/C,

missing codepage or helper program, or other error

(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might

need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

dmesg | tail or so

 

Please, any idea?

 

Very thanks.

You might have to create/install the glibc locales corresponding to your 9X/ME boxes out there, and also give an "iocharset=iso-88XX" argument to your cifs fstab entries.

Cifs by default tries utf8, and 9X/ME do not support unicode.
