Help with SAMBA Shares? Mandriva connecting to Debian
I've got some SMB shares on a Debian server (I think it's running Etch, I'd have to check). Among the shares are hidden user home shares - you need to know the share exists and provide credentials to connect to them.
I cannot figure out how to connect to them from a laptop running Mandriva 2009! The most encouraging result I've gotten is "Unable to connect to server. Please check your settings and try again." I'm using Dolphin - if I try to go straight to an SMB share I get a 'not found' error. If I try to set them up using the 'Add Network Folder' wizard, I get the error above. I'm getting prompted for credentials before I get the error above
The shares work wonderfully using a WinXP box to connect to them.
Any ideas? All my google hits are assuming I'm either setting up Samba, or connecting to a Linux Samba server from a Windows box. :-(
ETA: /etc/hosts has the server listed in it as a hard-coded IP address. Firefox on the Mandriva box can connect to the Apache server on the Debian box with no problem. I haven't tried SSH yet - that's the next project after this.
