Glad you managed to get it working. I do not manually mount/umount but instead have the following in my /etc/fstab [ Remote machine called gaia, folder to share 'fileserver', mounted on /mnt/fileserver ] //gaia/fileserver /mnt/fileserver cifs //guest,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 Of course, this presupposes that the remote PC is 'always there'. I use static IPs with all machines on the LAN in the hosts file, otherwise I believe I would need to use something like "//192.168.200.7/fileserver" instead. -- Bob Cox.
