Access standalone network drive from Linux (Fedora 7)?
#1

I have a standalone drive that I'm trying to access from Linux (Fedora 7).

 

In Windows, I access this drive by entering "\\netdrive\public" in the Explorer address bar.

 

I'm new to Linux, but I think I would need to mount this drive using smbmount or mount -smb or something similar; recent googling seems to indicate that smbmnt is no longer in Fedora, so I need to use mount -t cifs instead.

 

I've tried various parameters with mount -cifs. I think I want to do something like:

 



Code:
mount -cifs //netdrive/public /mnt/netdrive/public -o username=myname




 

but I get:

mount error 111 = Connection refused.


Can someone provide some help in configuring this? I'm not sure if the problem is with my use of mount -cifs, or if I'm even seeing the drive on the network.

 

Thanks in advance!
