Hello,

Here is what I'm trying to accomplish. I have a server running Mandrake Linux 10.0 Official. There is Samba installed on it, and it's configured to share user's HOME directories (actually,there is only one user "dmpop"). What I'm trying to do is to connect from my laptop running Knoppix 3.6 to this share using LinNeighborhood. I added a new a new machine and access it using scan as user command ("dmpop" + password). However, when I try to mount the dmpop share I get the following error message:

SMB connection failed
Connection to LOCALHOST (the name of my server) failed

Any ideas? Maybe there is an other (better) way of doing things?

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Dmitri
