You culd try something like this:
mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt/win7 -o
sec=ntlmv2i,user=domain/user,password=passwd

Hi Mark, thanks for your reply, that makes things clearer.
So, does this mean I don't need to have samba, smbfs or smbclient installed?

I tried the command you suggested above,
can you please explain what the sec=ntlmv2i part means?

when I entered the command above which you gave me, it came up with a password prompt, and I couldn't get rid of it. so I tried replacing my windows user name with the word guest, as I did when I mounted cifs shares under xp, but I still got stuck on the password prompt.
my wi ndows machine doesn't have a password on it, as I am the only user.
its host name is alex and it is on the MSHOME workgroup.
Does the case of the workgroup name make a difference when entering it?
