I've some issues with a windows share on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

1. 
   

   Installed cifsutils`:

   
   
   

   sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
   
   

   
   


2. 
   

   Created mountpoint

   
   
   

   sudo mkdir /mnt/temp
   
   

   
   


3. 
   

   Trying to mount a shared folder

   
   
   

   sudo mount -t cifs //fileserver/share /mnt/temp -o username=user,password=xxx
   
   

   
   

My problem is that the console hangs forever. I've waiting several minutes. If I enter wrong user/password it tells me Permission denied.

Update:

Response from Ubuntu Host computer:

nmap -p -v 445 fileserver -P0

host seems down / Filesharing seems to work though!

Ubuntu client computer (Inside vmware):

nmap -p -v 445 fileserver -P0

Host seems down / Filesharing doesn't work!

Maybe a lead: To autorize the fileshare I have to login on the domain.

Any suggestions?

This is firewall issue for me . Install nmap on your ubuntu box with apt-get install nmap and run nmap -p 445 fileserver to see if the samba port is blocked by firewall or not.

Other way is to put -v sudo mount -v -t cifs //fileserver/share /mnt/temp -o username=user,password=xxx
to see the verbose message from the mounting.

Hope it helps

Another possibility:

If you are using a standard VMWare Network-Configuration for that Virtual machine and following the documentation at http://pubs.vmware.com/workstation-10/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.ws.using.doc%2FGUID-4B9B4A82-D0F7-4939-BD7B-B6BF92FF7350.html

In a typical configuration, the New Virtual Machine wizard sets up NAT
for the virtual machine. You must select the custom configuration
option to configure bridged networking or host-only networking. The
wizard connects the virtual machine to the appropriate virtual
network.

Check out the VM's Network-Configuration and switch to bridged networking so that the VM has access to the same network-resources as your host machine.

Hope it helps.

NOTE: It was intended to be a comment, but I cannot do that yet :)

Finally I got it to work.

I used the ip-address (192.168.1.11) instead of fileserver.

When ping:ing the fileserver name on the client I got ping response from another ip/computer (192.168.1.16) than I got from the host computer (192.168.1.11) !

Don't know why the dns name was linked to wrong ip on the client computer?
