I had cifs working under OS2007, and I swear I had it working under OS2008 yesterday, but now it doesn't work. Filemanager's implementation of CIFS is, as stated above, useless for passworded shares. So I grabbed fanoush's cifs.ko and did insmod with it, but no luck.

my mounting syntax:

mount -t cifs //192.168.0.9/myshare /home/user/MyDocs/lan/myshare -o user=SERVERNAME\\User,password=password1

I just get a cryptic "mounting //192.168.0.9/myshare on /home/user/MyDocs/lan/myshare failed."

What's going on? The share and the mountpoint both exist (file manager can even see the share). Like I said, it worked before... Did I break something? Could it have something to do with using USB in host mode? Argh!
