Dancing the SaMBa

[Jettah]

Hi there,

Is there someone to dance tha SaMBa with?

I've tried to get SaMBa running again on my A1200, but did not entirely succeed.

Outsets:
- I can ping the other computer
- from the other computer I can ping the A1200

Conclusion up to so far: the connection is O.K.

When running the script that mounts the other computer's C:-drive (how did you guess the other computer is a Windows-jar, eh, eh??) the reply I get is a request to supply a password.

- my account on the OC is without use of a password
- the OC's registry has been set to use plain text passwords
- password supplied is an empty string: P=''

I used to have it solved, but I forgot about it...

Is there any Master of the Dance who can help me out? Or wants to know more specific details? Please let me know.

Regards

Jettah

@ All

I found the solution:
In the mountlist there is a line called Startup.
In the parameters you have to specify the computer you want to connect to (C= parameter).

That specific parameter did read: C=\\:IP-address\C
Now changed it into C=\\:IP-address\

@KennyR
And indeed I left out the P= parameter.

I gave it a go and 'lo and behold': the drive appeared on WB! Fantastic! we've done it, yeah. Grea' ma'!

B.t.w may I be so bold as to endorse a very usefull book on this matter?
