23 Richard,
24 Sounds to me like the problem is on your linux box, not the windoze.
25 machine.
26 How did you compile your kernel? Are you sure you included cifs in it?
27 If so, is it a module, and is it being loaded?
28 I sometimes get a bit of hastle from linux when I specify the password on
29 the command line as well, maybe try leaving it out of the command line
30 and putting in at the prompt (sounds odd I know, anyone know why this
31 happens to me?).
32 Regards,
33 Oliver Wilson
