Ubuntu: Mapping the network share
Hi,
1) I have a linux Ubuntu workstation in the production environment
2) I am used to with the Microsoft windows Environment
- There is a network share --> \\Boba\IS_Dept\Software\Lo
3) To connect to the above Network share (in windows Environment); i will do the followings:
- Go to "Run"
- Then, type in: \\Boba\IS_Dept\Software\Lo
- It will prompt me to the Lotus_Notes' folder, and I can select the which version of the lotus notes client that i can install (either for Window or Linux or Mac)
4) Now, I am at the above Linux Ubuntu Workstation; and I want to install the Lotus Notes' client for Linux; I have to map to ---> \\Boba\IS_Dept\Software\Lo
5)My questions: How to do it? Where is the "Run" command at Linux Workstation Ubuntu 10.04.3?
6) Thanks

1) OK
2) Per your explanation and my understanding:
- No need to put this linux workstation to the Boba domain
- But this linux machine is still be ABLE to connect to the "share" (network share) at that domain as long as I give the maybe "FQDN" (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of Boba
3) Please confirm if my understanding is correct; and i will try it Monday

Yes, the FQDN or the IP address can be entered in the "server" field. Here is another guide I found by googling the following keywords: "ubuntu 10.04 connect server windows share domain name"

1) """" Domain Name: [enter your company's domain name] i.e. "company.com" or "school.edu" (but you can leave off the .com or .edu part)
Username: [enter your Windows network username]
Password: [enter your Windows network password] """"
Comment:
-This linux Ubuntu, I believe, it is NOT in a domain ....It only gets the IP address from DHCP server (If it needs to be in a Domain, it seems that i have to give it the static IP and adjust or put the record in the DNS server for it ....and needs permission or authorization from company to do it)
- Do you think, IF this machine is NOT in a domain, it is STILL possible to get " the files" from the network share?
- Post it back please
2) Thanks
