Yes, as I wrote, that works fine for NT servers providing a share. I use
that with the corresponding entry in /etc/fstab so that I can simply say
mount /mountpoint
and the rest happens automatically.
I now would like to access the C:\ I declared as 'shared' on my desktop. I
can't figure out what that would be. Whatever I try yields 'session request
to DESKTOP failed'.
Any idea?
