I'm trying to mount a share on my network but this is what I get:

bash-2.05b# mount -t smbfs //archer/d$ /D
cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it.
31782: protocol negotiation failed
SMB connection failed

Any ideas?

don't put $ after d and for windows open My Computer
D: touch with right mouse and go to properties then you will see Advanced open it and open share iles after come to linux write

Code: Select all

mount -t smbfs //archer/d /D

and after it should mount

Thank you for the reply, but I get the same error even if I try to mount a non-hidden share. I must be missing something...

if it is truely a hidden share, the $ should work fine.

something else is definately wrong.

i got quite a few hits on Google for the "SMB signing" error... you may want to take a look.

windows server 2003 requires smb signing. Not sure if this is supported by the kernel smbfs. Try using cifs instead
If you use samba you may also need
client use spnego = yes
in your smb.conf

Alternatively you can disable the security measure on the windows 2003 box

There's a lot of questions about it, but very few answers. I'm trying a lot of different things, but it seems that this error message is used for a lot of different errors...

Yeah, this is what I gather to be the problem. I think the best solution would be disabling smb signing. We'll see if that works.

I had a very similar problem trying to connect windows 95 PCs to server 2003

Yup, disabling "Always sign communications" worked like a charm. Now I need to test out all the different media players to find the best divx/xvid player...
