Mounting windows 95 share

by angeln186 . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

Hi all,

I am using a linux box to mount a windows 95 share. I can mount it via windows by specifying the password only by executing the command:

net use \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\users password

I would like to be able to do the same from the terminal in linux, where I have been using:

mount -o username=xxx,password=yyy //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/users/ /mnt/

to mount shares from windows NT and XP. So I know the commands ought to work, but I must be missing something when it comes to how win 95 configures its shares (especially the fact that no user name is required)

I thank you all for your time in thinking about this problem.
Lemme know

Nitin
