Jeroen- Can you provide the syntax of the commands that you've tried? I've successfully accomplished this by using: smbmount //{Server}/{Share} /mnt/ntshare -C -U {username} -P {password} I used ntshare for testing. You probably have created a directory with a different name under /mnt. The -C switch forces lowercase passwords (I fought for a few hours to get smbmount to work, until I RTFM'ed!!) For more info, check out the SMBMOUNT Man page. You should also be able to substitute the IP address of the Server for {Server}. At least I *think* you can... Once you get this working, you can take the easy way out as I did and create a 1 line script containing the above. I saved it as DEFIANT in my home directory (That's the name of the server I used while testing). You can create it using any text editor available to you. After you create it, you must add the executable right to the file: chmod +x {name of text file}. This allows you to execute the text file as a script. For example, I entered: chmod +x defiant in my home directory. Then, execute it by typing: ./DEFIANT and the drive is mapped. Hope this helps! --- Armando I.
