Ok. Thought you meant another program other than
samba.

Your telling me! Samba,linux and mounting is very
confusing to me, Ha, Ha. But we all new that before
hand.

Well, here lies my biggest problem. I just don't know
what to do. I'm confident that c$ and c are windows
c:/. I didn't make the mount point on /mnt. So, as use
advised, I made a dir /mnt/pavilion and reissued the
mount command:
lchata at ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo mount -t smbfs
//PAVILION8370/C$ /mnt/pavilion
opts: rw
mount.smbfs started (version 3.0.24)
added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255

It looks like the connection was made but access was
denied. So apparently you were right about it being
protected even when using my admin password for
windows. The above output has more good items than
before so must be doing something right.

That was my problem.  Dummy me.

Here's where the partial success comes in. Using "My
Music" share which I know is a user share, not admin, 
I issued this mount command:sudo mount -t smbfs
//PAVILION8370/"My Music" /mnt/pavilion
opts: rw
mount.smbfs started (version 3.0.24)
added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255

Yeah, success at last. But couldn't open either of the
uris with wget. Need to find out if you can open X
windows with samba and how.

Never could open(mount) C$(permission denied even with

follows:

I'll try the program files and others later using my
admin password and see what happens. Now the next
issue to solve is how to map network drives from
windows.

There was a lot done, but I think adding the /24 to
the
smb.conf interfaces IP enty is what did it for me.
It looks like my smbmount issue is solved now that I
understand about the /mnt dir and will pretty it up in
time with entries for each windows share.
Congrats and Thanks to you Karl for coming in late and
providing the help and insight I needed to solve the
mount and WXP netmask issues. I know my smb.conf needs
cleaning up and I'll attempt that soon. But the "mount
network drives and samba server issue is my next
prioriorty. Your help is most appreciated.
Thanks,
