RE: Mounting Linux drive on Linux: error 21874

["Eve Atley" <eatley@wowcorp.com>]

Hello again and thanks,

Trying this one:
mount -t smbfs -o
username=someusername,password=somepassword,workgroup=workgroup
//192.168.10.28/dev/hda3 /mnt/devbox
(perhaps this is incorrect syntax?)

And getting this:
Error connecting to 192.168.10.28 (No route to host)
23617: Connection to 192.168.10.28 failed
SMB connection failed

There *should* be a route to host, since I can SSH into the box. :) 'uname
-a' does indeed show the hostname as 'localhost'. The /etc/hosts file shows
the standard 127.0.0.1 localhost entry. And as the 'unofficial' sysadmin,
I'm sure of the system's username/password. So, I'm going out on a limb here
and guessing that maybe I should change the hostname so that uname reports
something other than localhost. 

If that's a good guess, what's the best way to go about it?

My only other guess is that Samba is not configured on 192.168.10.28...

Thanks,
Eve
