[SWLUG] Mounting a Samba NAS Disk

[Tony Pursell]

Hi

Google for 'mount error 5'.  You are not the only person to have 
had this problem!  Too many hits for me to go through and find 
the best solution, but some one suggested a workgroug name 
problem and that it is really to do with access denied.

Good luck

Tony
