#Try a step by step with smb. The problem with mounting smb shares is
usually with permissions. Let us know how far you get in these steps,
that will give a clue to the problem.<br>
<br>
smbclient -L serverIPaddress -U smb-username<br>
(enter password)<br>
<br>
#You should see a bunch of shares listed, as well as the other stuff
collected from other smb browsers. If that worked then try:<br>
<br>
smbclient //serverIPaddress/sharename -U your-smb-username<br>
(enter password)<br>
<br>
#This should give you a little ftp-like native smb-client prompt. If
this worked (exit to get out) then try actually mounting an smb share<br>
<br>
sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=your-smb-username //ipaddress/sharename
/mnt/mountpoint (all on 1 line)<br>
<br>
#That will mount it as readonly for anyone except root, but if that
works then your ready for the fstab. The equivalent fstab entry is
like this: <br>
<br>
//ipaddress/sharename /mnt/mountpoint smbfs
username=your-smb-username,password=yourpassword 0 0 (all on 1 line)<br>
sudo mount /mnt/mountpoint<br>
<br>
Have found in dapper that using smb:///username@serverIP/sharename in
address bar of nautilus can access smb devices normal user read/write
no problems.. <br>

I've been trying to make mapping shares to my domain server work, with
vert little sucess.<br>
<br>
I've followed the instructions on the unofficial ubuntu guide and as
such i've created a .smbcredentials with my username and password, i've
created the local folder to map the share to and i've created a line in
fstab
<br>
<br>
When ever i run sudo mount -a it goes away and does it's thing without
complaining. when I try an open the local folder though it won't work,
it just says 'access was denied'<br>
<br>
I've also tried smb4k which shows all the shares as greyed out.

hmmmm<br>
