I've followed the HowTo on accessing Windows shares on the N800 using CIFS. I can see my directories (sweet!) yet File Manager reports "Unable to open files" when I try to display the contents of those folders. It'll list the files, but they're all grey and unclickable.
The account I've specified in fstab works from the other network clients.
SMBBrowser refuses to mount the shares even though it creates the mount point directory. I used the same user\pass as the XP clients.
I think the last thing I'll try is Twonky but I just don't understand why the current setup doesn't do it.
Anyone got any stunningly bright ideas?

Thanks

mount -t cifs -o username=USER,password=PASS //fjall/test /root/mnt

this is an example of how I mounted things after loading cifs.ko
