In the past I have been able to mount my Windows computer using the following command:
"mount -t cifs -o username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD //192.168.1.107/Users/gumper /mnt/share/"
Now when I try this I receive the message:
"Unable to find suitable address".
I am able to ping the IP address without any problem.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Randy Maybe missing DOMAIN or WORKGROUP in "username=" ?

I just tried changing "username=USERNAME" to "username=WORKGROUP/USERNAME" and I get the same results.
Thanks to everyone for all the help. I was finally able to get it going. Apparently the IP address changed on the Windows system. I was pinging what I thought was the correct IP address and getting a reply back but I must have been pinging another device, possibly an Ipod touch. I wasn't aware that the IP address on the pc could change like it did. I need to look into how to fix it to the same IP address so that I don't have the same problem in the future. Randy
