I am a newbie to Linux, and need to access my Network Drive more easily than keep on typing the smb address for it.
In windows 98 I just need to map it - however what do u do in Linux - I have been told I need to do: smbmount \\server\folder and then put a mount point - however I don't know how to create a mount point.

I know very little about samba, but if all you want to know is how to create a mount point, well, that's easy. A mount point is just a directory, so you create it with "mkdir".

hai u cann't create a mount point at one directory for ex:/mnt/system1
system1 is the mount point of win98 system
use this command to mount it on system1
mount -t smbfs -o username=,password= //system1/c /mnt/system1
u can run this command to mount it or else u can create a file in /usr/sbin
change permission of that file and run the file name at shell
i think u will succed now u are welcome if any problems raj my id is alpenlibe2002@yahoo.com
