Hi Charles, Thanks. I installed both the smbclient and cifs-utils. I was then able to mount my XP shared directory and access the network files with "GUI goodness" in AXIS. I appreciate the assistance.

The easiest way is to use nfs, which should already be installed. Since it's a windows box, however, you may want to use CIFS/SMBFS, which means you'd need to install the samba packages, probably smbclient and cifs-utils. That will get you enough to be able to mount a remote windows share, but I'm not sure if you will get "point and click network GUI goodness", since I mostly deal with network shares at the command line or in /etc/fstab. -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
