While I'm at it, any hints on optimizing samba a bit better for speed? A win95/98/NT machine averages about 1500 kps here. The w2k machine averages around 2500-3000 kps. I've done 8000 kps ftp's to the machine before. So just which side is so grossly inefficient? And how do i tune that side?

Only thing I can think of is that you are trying to mount ntfs partition and you don't have it in your kernel or you dont have the smbfs filesystem loaded in your kernel. But that mount 6 error is odd. If you have X installed try apt-get LinNeighborhood its a nice gui to mount network share
