The machine_name could be the ip, but do you see your >>>machine named 192.... when in network neighborhood? Or is it something >>>like windows_box or whatever? Aah! Thanks Jason. Weird, i get the following message if i use the IP as the machine name: "mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Connection reset by peer" ...but if i give the machine name as the actual windows machine name then all is fine, regardless of the username i specify. I didn't think it would make the difference. Thanks for your response. Cheers, Gareth
