Thanks Nick, but didn't work for me.  Probably
something I did wrong, so here's what I typed on cli:


lchata at ubuntu64:~/Documents$ man smbfs
No manual entry for smbfs
lchata at ubuntu64:~/Documents$ sudo mount -t smbfs -o
username=lchata,password=xxxxxx //192.168.1.65/lchata
/mnt/media/samba
Could not resolve mount point /mnt/media/samba
lchata at ubuntu64:~/Documents$

Dir /media/samba does exist.  What could be wrong?
