I'm slowly getting there.....many things have been worked through and solutions found, but I am having some problems still with the networking. I have created a link to (url) smb://10.0.0.4 which is the WinXP box and can browse my shares, copy files over, etc.

I have created a line in /etc/fstab to automount the share:

//10.0.0.4/data_shared /mnt/data_shared smbfs username=bryan,password=jasper,umask=000 0 0

(that's all on one line)

This gives me a /mnt/data_shared that I can open and copy files from, but if I try and create a directory on the share, or delete a file, I get an error message saying "access denied"

What have I got wrong/missing from my fstab line? Any ideas?
