I was able to do everything in this "how to" guide except actually getting the drive to mount.

For refernce here's the command I used:
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.112/Nokia770 myPC -o domain=MSHOME,user=gs,password=secretpassword

When I executed this command I got the following error:

Can't find //192.168.1.112/Nokia770 in /etc/fstab

I'm a NOOB using linux but from this error I suspect that I need to edit the /etc/fstab file.

I'm not sure what needs to be added to this file. Any clues, suggestions etc will be appreciated.

the //w.x.y.z/Nokia770 is the IP and shared folder name on the Windows box, not the 770. "myPC" is the name of the mount location on the 770 where you want the connection to be made. and, you should already have a folder of that name (ie, mkdir myPC)
