Perhaps you can try the command line version, without specifying the password: mount.cifs //starforge/c$ /windows/starforge \ -o username=administra...@domain mount.cifs will prompt you for a password - lower in this thread you & Max touched upon the possibility that the credentials are failing. mount.cifs will not succeed if your username & password are incorrect, and if there is a firewall on the Windows system, it will also not succeed. Another thing you can try is to create a new share on the Windows system, ensure your user has read access both on the share permissions and the filesystem permissions (likely if you are using the administrator account), and repeat the above mount.cifs command against the test share. If things continue not to work, then I'd have to ask you for: - version of mount.cifs - Windows OS version and suggest you try updating to the latest version of Samba: http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.5/rhel/5/sernet-samba.repo and see if things start working.
