    Good evening
    I'm trying to mount a Windows drive under my linux FS. I'm trying to use
Samba in order to do it. I've used the command:
    mount -t smb ////mysys//mydrive /windows

    Now as far as I can tell, it should work correctly, except that "mysys"
is a MASQ'd system behind my firewall. the mount command attempts to look
for "mysys" out in internet land and replies with a timeout error. I've
thought to replace "mysys" with the MASQ'd IP address, but I get in return:
    Session request failed (131,130) with myname=MALAMBER destname=10.1.1.1
    Called name not present
    Try to connect to another name (instead of 10.1.1.1)
    You may find -I option useful for this

    I've tried using the -I (specified IP address) option under mount, but I
get an option error.

    Does anyone have an idea on how I can get this to happen?

    Thanks

  machine share sub dir

  You can not mount subdirectories of an SMB share. The syntax must be

  ////machine//share

  I realize that you can't mount an SMB subdir....  the syntax of the
command is [host]/[share] [mount point]   ////mysys//mydrive
/mountpoint.....
