I have installed a samba server using the directions at the url below. I have the server running...just keep getting an error when I try and mount. I'm running "jukebox4-0.cf". Any help would be great. Thanks.

Install a samba server on Mac OS X:

I think you should be using the share name as an argument to fs-cifs and not the path to the share.

I think ghansah is right. It looks like your share name is "homes", so try:

fs-cifs -v //webcrazymac:192.168.1.100:/homes /mp3 webcrazy <password>

That did the trick. Trying to get the mp3s to play without skipping now. Thanks again.

The other image seemed to skip really bad. I liked that image better but loaded "infinityaudrey1.1.cf". It works great. Just having a problem with the samba server closing the connection after a couple of songs. I put two lines in the smb.conf to aid in the connection problem. Still having a timeout problem. Anyone know of the correct settings on the samba server or the audrey?

Man for smb.conf is:
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html

#Timeout settings in smb.conf
deadtime = 15
keepalive = 600

I had the exact same problem when mounting audrey to my OSX box and on my Linux box with fs-cifs. I never did find a fix. If I mount to a windows machine it works fine. What I was trying to do was mount my share on my windows box for my mp3's and my wifes imac for her mp3's. My share was always be availible and hers would always disconnect. So I moved all of her music to the linux server and setup a samba share on it and it had the same disconnect problem. What I ended up doing was moving all of our music mine and hers to the linux box and setup nfs. It works fine and actually plays better than the with the samba share. You should be able to setup nfs on OSX with little trouble.

Maybe this link will help, I used the linux how to since I didn't set it up on my mac.

I'm a mac person too. Can't run X on my 8500 though. If anyone ever figures out how to mount a share from a classic mac, please let me know. At least ive been able to FTP files over to audrey for a slideshow.

If you really want to put X on your machine this tool will help. Have not used it before..but pretty good reviews on versiontracker.com. I have a 3400 laptop I'll try it on when I get a chance. Let us know if this works for you.
