Code:

Very good, now we're getting somewhere. Continue as described below:

As root, create a file "/root/smbcreds". Edit it and make it look like this:

Code:

username=insert_your_actual_user_name_here
password=insert_your_actual_password_here

The user name and password should be what you use to log in to XP with.

Add the following line to "/etc/fstab":

Code:

//192.168.1.2/SHARE /home/davy/XP_SHARE  cifs  auto,rw,credentials=/root/smbcreds  0 0

now issue command:

Code:

mount -a -t cifs

Check to see if it mounted properly. If this works, we can go forward from here. Post your results below.

The network stil not auto connecting

Code:

mount -a -t cifs

if i do that in the terminal the share is visible

[nightflier]

To auto-mount the samba shares on boot, add the line to "/etc/rc.d/rc.local":

Code:

mount -a -t cifs

Remember to always use a plain text editor for this kind of work, never a word processor like abiword, openoffice or similar. My favorite is "mcedit" (in a terminal). Mousepad, adie or leafpad are also good choices.

If this side of the issue is solved, where do you want to go from here.. reading VL files from XP?

[Gekky29]

the problem now is that the network not start atomaticly
and the rc.local whit this code in it

Code:

ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd eth0

doesn`t working

[nightflier]

Exactly what do you do to get the network up after boot?

[Gekky29]

right klik on the taakbalk (not now the english word)
and klik connect

[nightflier]

So you're using the wicd-client. In that case do not use the eth0 lines in rc.local.

Right above the "Connect" button there is a little triangle. Click on it and make sure that the box for "Automatically connect... " is checked.

Edit: Also make sure the network cable is plugged in before you boot the machine.

[Gekky29]

it isn`t there

[nightflier]

Hmm.. is this a desktop or a laptop computer? Do you use wireless or a network cable?

Again, let's get back to some basic info:

1: First issue, accessing XP from VL is solved?

2: Next task is to reverse the above process, accessing VL from XP?

1: First issue, accessing XP from VL is solved?

yes

2: Next task is to reverse the above process, accessing VL from XP?

i can`t acces vl no more

[nightflier]

Make sure that the samba server is running. As root, run "vasm".
Continue to "service" > "srvset" > "4 Graphical user inteface desktop" and make sure that samba is selected.

You may want to do this for all the runlevels, 1 through 4.

To access VL from XP, click Start > Run and type "\\192.168.1.3" in the box and click "OK".
