Hello,
I have created share directory on my Puppy 6.0 linux, in share directory i see files which are shared from my Windows PC. But the problem is that when i use DOSBox 0.74 i can't found that directory.
Any ideas how i can reach it from DOSBox?

so any idea how i can mount it?
because i have tried to mount it but every time i get the same answer that directory can't be found.
I tried mounting all /root/ directory, so in DOSBox i can see all the directories and files except share.

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.xx.xx/share /root/share/ -o iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 i created that share directory using these parameters.

DOSBox can only see fat16 directories, so maby i need to create it somehow diferently?

mounting subdirectory didn't help

well finally i found the answer. all i needed to do was to add noserverino:

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.xx.xx/share ~/share/ -o iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noserverino

and thank you Qbix for the help, you were the one who gave this answer to another person a few years ago 😀
