Mark, Thanks that worked great. Just had to re-login as root to do it.
Is there a way to make this connection persistent? So every time I login it will be there? Do I have to edit the smb.conf or samba.conf file to accomplish this? I don't have an smb.conf file in the /etc dir. Do I have to create one?
