Try a test mount  (where xx and yy are valid for your win32 box):

# mount -t cifs //win32host/path /mountpoint -o username=xx,password=yy

It will default to rw, so you can leave that out of the options.

If this works, good.  Unmount it (umount //win32host/path) and setup to mount at boot by:

1.  Create a "credentials" file with the following two lines:

username=xx
password=yy

Save the file in /etc as root (which you will be if you telnet'd in as admin--check with whoami) and set the permissions so only root has rw access.  This may be overkill security-wise, but good practice.

2.  Add an entry to the /etc/fstab file as a new line:

//win32host/path /mountpoint  cifs credentials=/etc/credfilename 0 0

3.  Remount it:

# mount -a

Check the mount has worked (again).  If so, it will mount at boot, provided the win32 box is alive at the time.

If the trial mount does not work, have a look at the log using dmesg.  The most likely cause will be a version incompatibility.

Note "smbfs" has been depricated for some time though some systems still recognize it. The modern name is cifs (Common Internet File System)

Hope this helps.

bump!

please help!

@fordem:  thanks for the reply!

I updated my /etc/hosts file to include the binding I was missing... but isn't there a better way than updating the hosts file everytime there is a change?  Isn't this the sort of job for "winbindd" ?  How do we get this daemon up and running on the DNS ?

Well if you can ping the second DNS-323 by host name, you've resolved the name resolution issue, and you now have a different one - sorry, I can offer no assistance with this new one

@alexccs  Thanks for the reply.  I have checked /proc/filesystem  and cifs nor smbfs are installed... 

How do I install them??  I have 'googled' like crazy trying to find the answer!!  The closest I have come is a thread on installing Debian Etch on the DNS-323...   Isn't there a way to just install the cifs filesystem ??

@Electrocut:  Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.

The kernel object 'cifs.ko' cannot be found by 'insmod'.
1) Where would this module be found, normally?
2) Where can the source for cifs be found?

A copy compiled against 1.06 sources is included in this thread: http://dns323.kood.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4231

Thanks! 
I did an 'insmod cifs.1.6.ko', rebooted and I still get "mount: unknown filesystem type 'cifs'"
- using mount
- using /bin/mount

Is there a command to verify which modules are present in the kernel?

Any clue?

Kernel modules are stored in /lib/modules/[kernel-version] directory ( or /ffp/lib/modules/[kernel-version] for thoses provided by ffp installation).

And to know which kernel modules are actually loaded, there is the command:
lsmod

Here is what I did:
1) I downloaded the cifs.ko module as instructed
2) Moved it to /ffp/modules
3) Did 'insmod cifs.ko'
4) Verified the operation with 'lsmod'  : the module was listed OK
5) Rebooted the DNS-323 unit
6) Did a telnet to it
7) Did an 'lsmod' : the module is *not* listed anymore

It seems as though cifs.ko does not survive a reboot ... annoying.  How do I fix this?

refer to this thread. It works for me after almost 6 months figuring how to do this. make sure to use the cifs.1.5.0.ko

On which firmware version?  I guess your are using 1.5

I've tried the same procedure on 1.6 without getting the results you quote... anybody else on 1.6 having the same problems as me??

Yes i am using cifs 1.5.ko and it works? any particular reason why you need to use 1.6?

I thought 1.6 was required for drives > 1TB... no?
