Re: Not sure what to do

I understand what you are saying and the fact is, the network is already
setup for Windows to read the Linux box. What we are trying to do is get
the Linux box to see the Windows box at boot-up. ie: mount a shared
network dir located on the windows box in a dir on the Linux box. So
that he does not have to manually mount it after it is done booting. We
have already been able to mount it that way. Just need to know what to
add to fstab so the dir mounts at boot. But thank you for the input.

Yes, use Samba... Then you can mount it on Windows like any other Windows
share.
System Settings > Server Settings > Samba

The easiest way may be for you do do an auto mount of the samba share thru his login script so it does not have to be done manually.

Should be easy enough to do. May even be able to do it in fstab, but I have not tried that.
