I've been trying for two evenings now to figure out how to mount or =
connect to network drives.  Here is my setup:  RH 7.2 workstation kernel =
2.4.9-latest
I want to connect to a RH 7.1 (e-smith) server server name chow  i-bay =
name chow.  It also has a user folder named tom.

I also want to connect to an NT40 server named mutt with both drive c =
and d  shared as c$ and d$

Whenever I try the mount command such as mount chow:/chow /chow I get =
"error connection refused"  Whenever I try mount -t vfat mutt:/d$ /chow  =
I get an error message "special device does not exist"  With both my =
Win98 and Win2K machines I can map drives to both the chow and tom =
folders with no problem.

If I try to access the e-smith i-bay file folder with a  browser I get =
an error saying I am not authorized to access it yet I can access the =
html folder and open the default index.html page.  I am logged in as =
root and root has the same password on both machines but the i-bay is =
set to be shared on the local network without a password.

I cannot even connect to the i-bay with ftp.

I know some of you guys are running e-smith's out there, any =
suggestions?
