Okay, the names of the windows drive is simply the partition name "C." I
don't have it setup to require username or password. What is the correct

192.168.1.101:C /mnt/network/192.168.1.101/ smbfs
noauto,user,rw 0 0
you haven't got the syntax quite right.
The fstab entry for mounting my router's smb share looks like this (all on one
line of course):
//192.168.7.5/chris /mnt/router smbfs
credentials=/root/.routercreds,uid=chris,umask=0744 0 0
you can probably ignore the credentials part. the share is named chris on the
other machine.
hope this helps

Okay, the computer I am mounting is my brothers, and he downloads crap
all the time (game hacks, cheats, paintball videos, etc...), so I
want to be able to check it often for viruses. I already do this from
Windows, but I am rarely running windows anymore. In windows, my
computer's name is ANDREW and his is CARL. From network neighborhood,
the pathanme is //CARL/C. In fstab, I tried doing //192.168.1.101/C
and //192.168.1.101/CARL/C and 192.168.1.101/CARL, and I tried all in
lower-case too, but I am still getting an error:
Called: mount //192.168.1.101/carl/c
2994: session request to 192.168.1.101 failed (Called name not present)
2994: session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)
2994: session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present)
SMB connection failed
What next?
!DSPAM:411ad894224531464258108!
You need "//CARL/C$". That is the default name for the C: drive in Windows.
