Yes, as I wrote, that works fine for NT servers providing a share. I use that with the corresponding entry in /etc/fstab so that I can simply say mount /mountpoint and the rest happens automatically. I now would like to access the C:\ I declared as 'shared' on my desktop. I can't figure out what that would be. Whatever I try yields 'session request to DESKTOP failed'. Any idea? -- According to the latest figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless.
