And yes, I'm looking forward to streaming video from my Windows box as well.
I am mot using 2003 Domain Controller Or even trying to acces windows boxes... I have 2 *nix NAS, 5 *nix systems, and 1 Windows system and I was able to browse thru them just fine before with smbbrowser and smbfs.
I was using smbfs and smbbrowser just fine with my network in 2.0 withouth cifs. I update to 2.1 and now I am unable too. Is not mission critical here you know but at points it was very usefull. I am going to look in to it further tomorrow.. I am sure is because smbfs is not been supported as a file system and I am going to have to add smbfs manually

Just a heads up.... in 2.1 cifs is allready in the system by default there is no need to fallow the "How To" from the mamemo site all you have to do is call on cifs.
If you ask your self how do I knwo?!? Well this is what happen when I called on the cifs module...
Code:
Nokia770-39:/home/user/MyDocs# insmod ./cifs.ko
Using ./cifs.ko
insmod: cannot insert `./cifs.ko': File exists (-1): File exists
So I ran the command for mounting the drives and it work just fine.
I am writing a script to mount with cifs every time you need to mount your drives... that way you dont have to run that loong command every time.. all you have to is call on "script"

If you interested on the script please pm

hehehe that save me time I was working on something similar.
I dont think that you have to call in cifs.ko in the script since is nativle in 2.1... Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks....

nope, it was not working for me without downloading and then calling the module in the scripty.... now it works fine. it's easy to use if you integrate it into the run applet.

cheers

Well I didnt have to do all that... I did it a bit more simpler...
All I had to was add mount to my fstab and than add user to sudo to be able to call on mount.. than made a small scrip to mount and umount thats it..

does not work using n800 - 2.6.18-omap1.
I get this error message:
insmod: cannot insert `./cifs.ko': Invalid module format (-1): Exec format error

And this is because that version is for 2.6.16. The original that came with the n800. I upgraded to OS 2007 version 2.2006.51-6. and I guess that changed the kernel to 2.6.18-omap1.

Were can I get cifs.ko for 2.6.18-omap1?

Do not insmod just call on cifs
As posted by Milhouse there is no cifs.ko in OS2007 but you can try the command to see if that works for you I dont have a N800 to see if the FS support is compiled in the kernel.

Updated http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowToAccessWindowsCIFS with link to compiled cifs module, please try it (I don't have the device) and remove the comment from that page if it works.
