The format of the /etc/fstab entry changed, requiring the IP address
of the remote system rather than just the NetBIOS name:
# old format, should all be on one line:
#//chocolate/chocolatec /chocolatec smbfs
rw,guest,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset
=utf8,codepage=cp850 0 0
# new format, should all be on one line:
//10.0.0.2/chocolatec /chocolatec cifs

On my very small home network, the Windows computer gets its IP
address from a router by dhcp. How to get this IP for the remote Linux
/etc/fstab file? Can this be automated?
I set up my router to assign IP addresses based on the MAC addresses of
the machines, having tried a few other ideas and not succeeded. One
could also assign static IPs to the machines.
