Samba

Post by IndyUK »

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a share with Samba on my XP machine but keep getting the following error..

Code: Select all

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //iserver/MMedia,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so
What am I doing wrong? Samba is definitely running as I did a smbclient -L and that displayed all the shares on the XP server.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You're not showing the actual mount command you tried to use ...?
