How do I mount a windows share in Linux?

[puffpio]

I'm aware of doing commands like these:
mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=password,debug=4 //windowsservername/temp$ /mnt/share
smbmount -o username=<valid NT Login>, password=<Valid NT Account Passwd> //windowsservername/temp$ /mnt/share

but what if the authetication is on a domain and not to the login to the actual windows box itself?

smbmount -o username=domain\\username, password=password \\windowsservername\sharename /mnt/share

haha iv'e tried everythiong...for some reason my linux coworker cannot connect to my win2k share on my computer..even though he can connect to other windows file servers using the same types of commands

 

[spyordie007]

is your machine firewalled?

can you get to the share on your machine from other machines?

 

[puffpio]

he always gets a 'SMB connection failed' message

and other windows users can access my share so I dunno what is wrong

Are you using IPSec on your domain?

And is SMB Signing enabled? Last time I tried it didn't work properly with Samba, although it's been a while.

I think that nothingman hit it on the head. This was a problem that I saw earlier this year with the first W2K3 install that my IT pple did. Have your linux user try to log in using smbclient and see what it says. If it is the signing then you will see the error there. Also what version of Samba is he using? If it is not > 3.0 then the samba signing will be problematic at the least.
