Dear Polytropon ,
Your message has supplied important information .
When their equivalent values are entered , they worked :
"WINPC" : NetBIOS_NAME_in_Windows
workgroup : Work_Group_NAME_in_Windows
"Administrator" : user_name_in_Windows_Administrators
F$ : Share_Name_in_Windows
With the above values :
/etc/nsmb.conf :
-----------------------------
[default]
Workgroup=Work_Group_NAME_in_Windows
[NetBIOS_NAME_in_Windows]
addr=192.168.10.25
-----------------------------
The following values are NOT required ( they are not taken into
consideration ) :
[WINPC:Administrator]
password=MYTOPSECRETPASSWORD
During boot , the password is asked .
/etc/hosts :
-----------------------------
192.168.10.25 NetBIOS_NAME_in_Windows
-----------------------------
/etc/fstab :
-----------------------------
//user_name_in_Windows_Administrators@NetBIOS_NAME_in_Windows/Share_Name_in_Windows
/mnt smbfs rw 0 0
-----------------------------
where /mnt is the mount directory in FreeBSD server ,
the sample IP number 192.168.10.25 will be replaced by actual IP number .
Thank you very much .
