Help from some of you linux gurus

As many of you may have seen from some of my posts, ive recently set up a new linux box and have been spending hours and hours playing with it. Well, right at the moment, im stumped. Im trying to mount some files that are on an SMB share on my network, i was following a guide and it told me to run this command
/usr/bin/smbclient -L storage-0288
to get the server domain name and all that jazz, but here is what mine outputs
**********************************************************************************
Domain=[ȇ] OS=[] Server=[���]
Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- Music Disk Data Disk Videos Disk Pics Disk IPC$ IPC Domain=[ȇ] OS=[] Server=[���]
Server Comment --------- -------
Workgroup Master --------- -------
**********************************************************************************
any ideas on what to do next? btw, im trying to mount these different files, some just for accessibility, but the music so i can get amaroK to read the files into its database...
thanks for the help guys
peace

are they on a remote computer? i assume so since you are using smb. i bet you dont have a domain set up. just walk over to the other computer and find out what workgroup it is on.

it is a network attached hdd, it is connected directly to my router, which does have a domain name. I share printers and files to my other windows computers and my xbox and wii. Hope that helps...
peace

mount -t smbfs -o username=YOURUSERNAME,password=YOURPASSWORD //storage-0288/Music\ Disk /path/to/mountpoint
should do the trick for you. Of course, replace YOURUSERNAME and YOURPASSWORD with your username and password for the share. If you don't have one, remove the whole "-o username=YOURUSERNAME,password=YOURPASSWORD" part. Also change /path/to/mountpoint to where you want ta mount this share. like /mnt/mymusic (which you first have to create with "mkdir /mnt/mymusic")
You'll most likely have to have root privileges to do this, so use sudo. ("sudo mount...", "sudo mkdir ...").
Also, I haven't used smb in ~five years, so this might not work, but give it a try Good luck! And welcome to the good side!
