Hi, Thanks for all the advise, this HAL problem happened on my old pc ages ago and being lazy and busy i've used the wireless laptop for a while.. until now.. anyway. Got the shares working thru cifs but had a few issues so i thought why didn't this error happen on the laptop ? hmmm, so i put the original shares back in fstab and ONLY added the "pre_up sleep 5" line to eth0 in the interfaces file (thanks Andras Nemeseri) and all the shares are working fine. thanks.
