Hi Chuck I can umount and re- mount the shares using the command line (sudo umount -a and sudo mount -a) and it works successfully. I get nautilus sessions opening for each mounted drive every time I do this, which is very annoying!
I can do the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.73.10/<sharename> /home/hamish/nas_<sharename> Password: And it works successfully :-) I *really* think that the problem is to do with the system attempting to read the /etc/fstab file and mount the drives *before* the network is up, and the reverse on the dismounts at shutdown/restart.
