Try to adapt the following configuration example I just copied from a system image which has been working many years ago: Edit the file /etc/nsmb.conf to contain access credentials if those are needed: [default] workgroup=THEGROUPNAMEHERE [WINPC] addr=192.168.123.456 [WINPC:Administrator] password=MYTOPSECRETPASSWORD In this example, "WINPC" is then name of the PC you want to mount the SMB shares from. Also "Administrator" will be the user account by which they are mounted. Please note that this might be a stupid practice. :-) Then add those entries to /etc/fstab: //Administrator@WINPC/a$ /smb/a smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 //Administrator@WINPC/c$ /smb/c smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 //Administrator@WINPC/d$ /smb/d smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 //Administrator@WINPC/e$ /smb/e smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 //Administrator@WINPC/f$ /smb/f smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 Of course you can be more specific by naming the shares by name. In this case here, the "drive letters" have been used to access the entire drives / logical partitions / whatever. If the shares should be mounted on boot time, remove ",noauto". If not, use "mount /smb/c" for example when needed. Of course make sure that the mount targets, /smb/[acdef] in this case, do exist. Finally, make sure that if you're using "WINPC" in /etc/fstab, put an IP for in in /etc/hosts, or it won't resolve: 192.168.123.456 WINPC This is also helpful as soon as you have to run network diagnostics as you can now use "WINPC" for the "Windows" PC in any commands. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
