Wondering again, how can I mount samba shares - like:
mount -t cifs //server/sharename /mount/point
I tried using smbfs also.. But I get No such device.
I also tried then smbBrowser.. But nothing gets mounted..
Any suggestions....

I am also interested in this... since 2.1 update smbfs is not working and is not listed under lsmod.... Do this mean we have to compile it to the kernel?

I read that Os2006 needed a module in order to mount samba shares. And the module was located at http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/cifs.tgz. Maybe 2007 needs a kernel module.

Thats for cifs. You dont need cifs for sbmount.

Just tried smbmount. Got error saying that the kernel does not support smbfs.

You need to install the smbfs pkg.... use "apt-get install smbfs" make sure you have the maemo-hackers repo install and see if that work for you... Like I said it worked in maemo 2.0 just fine but it wont in 2.1

May be I got a false info here, but as far as I understand, you need CIFS if you want to access certain Windows box, like 2003 server and XP on the 2003 domain. Cuz SMB base on the old LANMAN, and it won't work w/ the new 2003 domain. I'm not sure what you need the SMB for, but you may need CIFS as well. And yes, I'm looking forward to streaming video from my Windows box as well.
