OK, let's take a step back. You do not need the entry in smb.conf. The
first thing to do is to determine if you really have a share called "f" on a
machine called "nt_server".
>From the "nt_server", run the command "net view \\nt_server". This will
give you the list of directories that the box is sharing out.
If you get this, you are not sharing anything out:
C:\>net view \\nt_server
There are no entries in the list.
Using Explorer or Server Manager, create the share. Then proceed on with
the linux mount.

I have entered the following command and get the results indicated,, I just
do not understand the response I am getting or know what to do about it,,,If
I am going to mount a fs,, don't I need an exports file on that server that
has the fs I want to mount?? And why don't I use smbmount instead if
mount?? When I use smbmount I get an explanation of the mount command and a
suggested syntax,,which does not work either,,,and it isjust like the
following:
mount -t smbfs -o username=rock,password=mypassword //nt_server/artfiles
/tmp/adfiles
I get:
# tree connect failed:ERRDOS -ERRnosuchshare (you specified an invalid share
name)
SMB connection failed
my smb.conf share looks like this:
[artfiles]
comment = Art Dept Files
path = //nt_server/f
public = yes
browsable = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
