yeah, for some reason the connection would terminate. I guess I should have replied earlier, but I found a slightly simpler way around this problem.
It seems that microsoft is offering is 'Services for Unix' free for download from their website. I installed that a couple days ago and everythings fine mounting the new NFS share on my box. This solution still requires a bit of configuration on the part of the windows server, but on the linux side of things, it's a lot smoother to integrate. I'm not the best at describing features of products, and I've not used it for long, but this product provides NFS NIS and password syncronization with unix machines. In closing I guess this would be a viable workaround for those experiencing difficulties with winXP and the newer versions of smbfs and cifs. Thanks for all the help.
