Specify the domain in SMB login strings
Authored by: TomorrowPlusX on Dec 10, '03 10:59:53AM

perhaps somebody can help me here with a related issue:

I have a number of servers at work each with shares by the same name ( wwwroot ), so I can't mount them all to the desktop simultaneously.

Does anybody know of an SMB command to give them custom names, instead of the share name only, like "wwwroot on machineXYZ"

I am pretty sure that you can specify that in a samba.conf file - where ever that file os - look @ samba.org or google

If you are on a local network, you need to change one little thing.

smb://WORKGROUP;user:password@ip_address/Share

I tried using the aforementioned format to no avail, but this one works. Trying to specify a machine name and IP was giving me the error.
