Share is mounted. It shows up when I do $mount . But when I try to access the folder, it says permission denied. I can access the same share from another linux machine here. I'm doing all these as root. ---- $mount ? - I don't understand what you mean. Can you access the \\SERVERIP\Share with the same username/password combo on Windows 98? Can you create another directory such as /home/windows and mount it there and see if it makes a difference?
