That seems to be a true statement, but may only be not working for either file manager?
Well did you check with the command line?
I just restarted this computer and doing 'mount' seems to show the smb mounted
without my doing anything.
Earlier, did you power on the client and the server at the same time?
If that is what you did, it is possible that the server wasn't yet fully up and
running when the client tried
to mount the share.
If now, you only restarted the client the server is fully ready.
The more I look at this the more confused I get/.../
When you check things you need to check both the command line and the file manager.
FWIW, in my earlier email, since you indicated /mnt/smb was now working I was asking you
to change it back
to /media/smb. I think you didn't notice that change request. BUT, no need to do it
now until you can get
it working consistently.
I hate to say this, but in your situation and the need to satisfy your Apple using family
members it may be
worth the extra few $ to invest in a NAS that supports NFS, SMB, and AFP. It may help you
avoid headaches
and keep everyone happier. :-) :-)
