I am trying to mount a windows share on a linux box and I am having
problems with the format.  It is on a Zaurus trying to connect to XP.
The name of the share is //proxp/downloads.  The IP address is
192.168.1.106.  User name gmontag password som1234.  I created a
directory on mnt/card/dos. I have been running something like:

mount -t smbfs -o
username=gmontag,password=som1234,workgroup=mshome,netbiosname=proxp
//proxp/downloads /mnt/card/dos

I have tried numerous variations and keep getting invalid argument.  I
can ping the IP and connect to the share from a windows 2000 box.
Sincerely,
Rock Roskam
