Connecting to Windows Shares
When I installed my Red Hat Linux 7.3, I installed as well SMB so I can connect to window shares over the network. My Windows computer is a Windows 2000 Server computer running Active Directory and sharing a few files.

How do I connect to it using SMB to log in with my user name and password?

Note: I'm using KDE 3.0 btw, GNOME is also available.

man mount
man smbmount

Generally, something like
mount -t smbfs -o username=fred //foobox/share /mnt/somewhere
should work.

The server is in active directory and sharing a file. Here is the info...

Folder = test
Domain = mydomain.com
Computer = comp1

mount -t smbfs -o username=eliteboo //comp1.mydomain.com/test /mnt/somewhere

Is this the correct format? If so, it's not working?

Question
Are you going to post the actual error message later or should I just guess what it is?
