In the office, I can connect immediately to the server using the command mount.cifs //Directory my_mount_point/ -v -o user=xxxxx,password=xxxxx,domain=xxxxx I am also told there are no firewalls or anything but when I try connect from home using the command mount.cifs //Server_IP_Address/Directory my_mount_point/ -v -o user=xxxxx,password=xxxxx,domain=xxxxx Then I get the error message mount error(110): Connection timed out Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) If however I open up firefox then I can see Windows Small BusinessServer 2003 (but cannot mount the directory and read read/write files)
