Hi

I am trying to share a pc's directory on my amiga 1200 using smbfs an smbmounter.

I have installed the files, set an assign (assign samba c:samba) and shared the directory on the pc via a homegroup.

I can ping the pc's ip address but not its name (does dns work like that?)

However when I setup smbmounter as follows -

Name: pc
Workgroup: homegroup
Hostname: pc
Service: backup
Username and password blank, prompt for login box ticked
Volume: pc

And try to connect I get error unknown host pc

If i edit the settings for the connection andclick the questionmark next to the host name i get error connection failed to host and then the pcs ip address

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
