Help with samba and winXP

[h4ng0ver]

i was able to get windowXP to see my share drive under redhat, but i have no idea how to get Linux to see my winXP drive .
I have drive D share in winxp and i want to be able to read/write from my Linux (from console)....
Thanks for your help

don't quote me on syntax, but it's something to the effect of:

mount -t smbfs -o username=<name>,password=<password> //commputername/share /localfolder

I'm pretty sure thats it... I haven't played with it in a while, however my automount in /etc/fstab (using debian) for a remote share looks like:

//10.0.0.2/storage /falsespace/storage smbfs username=user,password=pass 0 0

//10.0.0.2/storage3 /falsespace/storage3 smbfs username=user,password=pass 0 0

//10.0.0.2/storage2 /falsespace/storage2 smbfs username=user,password=pass 0 0

that is for 3 different shares on the computer 10.0.0.2 named storage, storage2 and storage3. They are mounting in /falsespace/storage, storage2, and storage3 respectively.

you can also put this in your /etc/fstab:
<btw this is mine to see my xp>
//WINXP-BOX/WINXPSHARE /home/joe/xpdrive smbfs username=!JOE,password=<**********>,uid=joe,gid=joe,rw 0 0

<**********> is replaced by my winxp password that i am not going to put on the net. it coincides with the username <!JOE>.

this way i don't have to worry about connecting when i reboot.
