Help mounting a Win2K shared drive with Samba

[DeepSparklePupa]

Hi!

I'm looking to backup my Linux system on my home network to a Win2K server with a greater fault tolerance.
I need help mounting the Win2K shared drive. Neither smbmount //*servername*/*shared drive* or smbmount -I 192.168.1.2 -U *username* -P *password* are working for me.

Samba is correctly configured, best I can tell. I am able to share the Linux directories with the Win2K box (that is, I can read and write to the Linux box from Win2K).

My network looks like this:

/----------------------------\
| Linux Box (firewall) |
\----------------------------/
192.168.1.1
/ \
192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3
/-----------------------------------\ /-------------------------------\
| Win2k Server (DNS, WWW) | | Win2k Pro (gaming, fun) |
\-----------------------------------/ \-------------------------------/

Thanks for you help!

Here's Electrode's instructions. Worked for me fine.

To access shared folders in Linux:
1. Open a shell.
2. Become root. su and enter your root password when asked for it.
3. Create a mount point for the shared folder. mkdir /mnt/share
4. Mount the shared folder. mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password //compname/sharename /mnt/share
