smbfs is for you. Just remember to give it enough stack (I'd say 32k is enough)

You have least trouble if the server has a static IP address. The client side (miggy in this case) doesn't need to have static IP address.

@amije

i don't think that has to do with the ip but with the name of the pc. you need to set it up in a way that it's looking for the ''Full computer name''.
right click my computer/properties/computer name

And how exactly does smbfs find out about this name?

You'd need some sort of dynamic name resolving (local nameserver), or dynamically generated hosts file for this. As I said, just using static IP for the server is much easier.

Anyway, here is what I use in my lan:

Code: [Select]

run <>nil: l:smbfs CASE DOMAIN=DEBIAN USER=piru PASSWORD=yeahright QUIET VOLUME=peg1: CACHE=1024 SERVICE=//peg1/all

in hosts file I have:

Code: [Select]

10.0.0.2           peg1.home    peg1
