Hopefully someone can help me with this.

My main box is running Mandrake 9.1 and the my server for now is running Win2000 server.

What I am trying to to is log in to the Win2000 domain that I have set up. Using Swat to configure Samba and making sure my username is correct and domain name is correct I run LInneighbourhood. In Lin I can see the domain, I can see the shares on the server but I cannot access any of them.

I get the following in this order:
1. A box which has a blank space for domain, the username I use, and the password filled in.

2 I get the Mount Dialog box (pic uploaded)

3. I then get an error message with the following
"-l: invalid option -- W
Could not resolve mount point -l"

Damn I've been trying for so long and although I love playing with linux this is starting to frustrate me to no end.

So close, yet so far.

Try creating a normal share like EDrive instead of using the administrative share of E$ .
Just a thought. :)

Tried that and still no deal. I still can't resolve the mount point. I'm thinking it's something to do with a password or maybe I haven't set up Win2000 properly.
