Craig -- $mount ? - I don't understand what you mean.
--------------
Sanjay -- When you type mount and hit enter at the command prompt, it gives you all the drives/partitions that are currently mounted in the system, right? That's what I meant. I guess all it does is reading from /proc/mounts that is the reason I mentioned this in my post.

Craig -- Can you access the \\SERVERIP\Share with the same username/password
combo on Windows 98?
----------
Sanjay -- I don't have access to Windows 98. But I can access these shares from other windows computers and a linux computer that has same FC1 on it, though different samba version (ref: my original post), in our network.
----------
Craig -- Can you create another directory such as /home/windows and mount it
there and see if it makes a difference?
----------
Sanjay -- I've tried mounting at different directories but the same 'Permission Denied' error. It's strange that I can 'cd' to it but can't read from it. I have to get this working asap :-(
