Mount - Unable to find suitable address
- by Benny
I am trying to mount my Windows share through my Ubuntu box (no xwindow), but I continue to get
Unable to find suitable address
I have tried using the raw IP address, I have checked the credentials, I have disabled the Windows firewall, but I cannot find anything wrong.
benny@backup:~$ sudo mount -t cifs //my-desk/j -o username=me,password=s)mePasss /mnt/sync
Unable to find suitable address.
benny@backup:~$ ping my-desk
PING my-desk (10.10.10.43) 56(84) bytes of data.
?
--- my-desk ping statistics ---

benny@backup:~$ sudo mount -t cifs //10.10.10.43/j -o username=me,password=s)mePasss /mnt/sync

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
