With some help from the #samba forums on Ubuntu IRC I was able to set up a client to my windows share. First to test the connection I had finaly gotten this to work:
smbclient -L 192.168.56.1 -U Jim%secret
which listed my shares, then to connect I had done:
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=Jim,password=secret,ip=192.168.56.1 //JIM-VISTA/edrive /media/EDrive
The other day I had done sudo apt-get upgrade and gotten some files. Today my share doesn't work (mount: Host is down). So I go back to investigating and find that the smbclient doesn't work anymore:
session request to 192.168.56.1 failed (Called name not present)
session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)
session request to *SMBSEVER failed (Called name not present)
Doing some more research I find that this is what I have to do now:
smbclient -L JIM-VISTA -U Jim%secret -I 192.168.56.1
which gives me the list.
So what do I have to change on the mount to get it to work now? It has both the IP and the share name.
smbclient -L 192.168.56.1 -U Jim%secret
