Sorry for falling in late but we can't do that. Win 98 (95 too?) shared can not be mounted with CIFS, it requires SMBFS. Furthermore, there seems to be a strange CIFS error when trying to do so (varying error codes)...: 13:11 shanghai:/etc # mount //wideland/hda1 /mnt/wideland -t smbfs -o password=realw 13:11 shanghai:/etc # ls /mnt/wideland . cygwin DRVSPACE.BIN msdos.sys .. tcpp IO.SYS system.1st DA windows SCANDISK.LOG tools.conf Eigene Dateien AUTOEXEC.BAT SETUPXLG.TXT Programme COMMAND.COM Verkn?pfung mit Scandisk.log.lnk RECYCLED CYGWIN_SYSLOG.TXT config.sys 13:11 shanghai:/etc # umount /mnt/wideland 13:11 shanghai:/etc # mount //wideland/hda1 /mnt/wideland -t cifs -o password=realw mount error 2 = No such file or directory Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) 13:11 shanghai:/etc # mount //wideland/hda1 /mnt/wideland -t cifs -o password=realw mount error 112 = Host is down Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) It's certainly not down.
