Greetings All, My problem is trying to mount an SMB share from Fedora Core5 to a Windows 98 Machine. Before upgrading from FC4 to FC5 everything worked. I have searched around and it appears that the smbmount and mount -t smbfs options have been deprecated in Samba 3.0.22-1 in favor of CIFS. The command I have been trying now is: mount -t cifs //192.168.0.126/laptop /mnt/share -o username=chime whereas I used to be able to do... mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.126/laptop /mnt/share -o username=chime but the problem I have now is that it won't mount. I get an error mount error 112 = Host is down The host is NOT down, that is the IP address of the laptop running Windows 98 with file and print sharing enabled, and I have named the share "laptop". There is no Firewall installed blocking any ports on the 98 machine. I can ping it and no other config on it has changed. The only change was going from FC4 to FC5. Here are the results of my smb.conf testparm Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE [global] server string = Linux Server guest account = guest log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = /etc/printcap dns proxy = No idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 hosts allow = 192.168.0.126 cups options = raw [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No Anyone have any insight to this issue. Thanks for your help

You need to recompile your kernel to support smbfs. let me know how it goes. RP -- -------------------- Ra?l D. Pitt?

The intention is to allow smbfs to be replaced with cifsfs for almost all users.
