My Bad. I should have been more specific about the problem. 

I can access the shares using the network icon, but I want to actually mount 
them in /media.

here is my  fstab line:

//192.168.2.2/D /media/d   cifs    
auto,username=myusername,password=mypassword 0 0

I've used this line for quite a few years with no problem. I think something 
went awry when I upgraded some applications on my desktop machine where the 
shares are located.

but I'm stumped, I checked and rechecked smb.conf and everything looks like it 
always has.
