hi,
I just wanna put my 2 cents in.
cent 1,
you could put a "smbmount" command in one of your systems
start up scripts instead.
cent 2
at boot time are u sure smbd and nmbd will be running ?
cent 3
you could change the share name (as opposed to the folder)
on the windows machine.
Regards,
John Rogers
