Hi cInDeR:
What Ray says is correct, win9x has to use Samba. But if your question is
just that you want to not wear your fingers to the bone typing that string
every time, try this:
create a file, say log_win95 in your /root/bin (or wherever) with the
following in it (change it for your naming conventions):
smbmount "\\\\WINNT\\F$" -c 'mount /winnt -f 755 -d 755'
see man smbmount!
