[QUOTE="billnot, post: 386377, member: 176016"] Yes, sorry about that - I should have commented this myself. You have it basically right. The username and password are those that apply on the PC; I have (at your suggestion) created a user dream. However, it does not have a password. If the user you create on your PC has a password then you must include it in the options. I made a directory share off /media, so that if I want more than one share in the future I can create them as necessary. I keep the directory name the same as the share name purely to make life easier. If I give a fuller theoretical example, it may make things even clearer. //192.168.x.x/sharename /media/shares/sharename cifs auto,owner,rw,username=dream,workgroup=wgname,password=passonpc,uid=xxx,gid=xxx 0 0 That hasn't formatted well in my preview - there's no space at all between auto, and gid=xxx inclusive. Much as has been explained by you, but shows the correct format for adding username, password and workgroup, plus, should you need them (you shouldn't) uid and gid. The link you gave is helpful for the basics of fstab, but the man page, useful but hard work, specifically for cifs is at http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/mount.cifs.8.html [/QUOTE]
