##### Thanks Ed.
I must be getting close after four straight hours of trying everything because after I boot, I can mount the server with a simple "mount //NT1/PCVol". It has to be correctly getting all the rest of the parameters from /etc/fstab. I've even successfully specified the password as an option, which is different than my Linux log-in password, and it is getting that too without asking for it. I've double checked and the mount is indeed read/write enabled.
According to one of the manuals I've consulted it claims that if I can mount the fileserver volume with a simple "mount //NT1/PCVol" as root that it will get mounted during boot since it is looking up everything else successfully in /etc/fstab. Unfortunately, it is not mounting during boot. Almost makes me wonder if there is something else that needs to be configured, such as a mount script, or automount script, or something.
During boot, it is indicating that the SMB mount failed. Hopefully, when you give me your /etc/fstab entry, I'll know what I've done wrong.
I have my mount point at /mnt/NT1, same directory where CDROM & Floppy mount. But, they have nice desktop icons. So, my next question will be how to get a nice desktop icon for my fileserver mount.
Looking forward to hearing from you in the morning.
