Can you login to the share using smbclient ? smbclient //pc_name/share To mount the share I just use mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pass //robin/share /mnt/smb And my PC is Windows XP SP2. One think that maybe causing a problem is the Windows Firewall.... It will give you strange errors when trying to connect to shares.
Also I am not sure but consider looking at the docs if you hav enot already: http://us5.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/toc.html Hope some of this helps.
