Just a quick note on using Samba/Windows shares from Linux:

Assuming all is working, try something like

    mount -t smbfs //samba/share /mnt/sambashare -o
username=username,password=password


to mount a Windows/Samba share. This works in /etc/fstab too:

    //samba/share /mnt/sambashare smbfs
username=username,password=password    0    0


With that in place, doing a "mount /mnt/sambashare" will do it all for you
automatically.
