    smbfs help gurus

     
    I need a few linux guru's.

    I am trying to get my ubuntu 7.10 laptop (wireless) client to be able to see shares from my xp (setup as a file server) desktop ( hardwired to same wireless router ). I have been using this guide :

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mo...7b6660a8786c35

    this is the error message i am getting
    :

    lucana@laptop:~$ sudo mount -a
    Could not resolve mount point /home/lucana/desktop/mount
    lucana@laptop:~$


    this is my fstab config:

    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
    # /dev/sda1
    UUID=eafe81a0-359c-4f9e-8289-a2bdc8d1b196 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
    # /dev/sda5
    UUID=ff38c1b7-89b0-4066-84d4-687e910a18e7 none swap sw 0 0
    /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0
    //media/e: /home/lucana/desktop/mount smbfs /home/lucana/.smbcredentials,uid=1000 0 0


    this is my etc/nsswitch.conf:

    # /etc/nsswitch.conf
    #
    # Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
    # If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
    # `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.

    passwd: compat
    group: compat
    shadow: compat

    hosts: files dns wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
    networks: files

    protocols: db files
    services: db files
    ethers: db files
    rpc: db files

    netgroup: nis


    this is my .smbcreditials file:


    lucana=lucana
    password=password

    # OR:
    # username=MyUsername@MyDomain
    # password=MyPassword



    I have been working on this for about a week. I also tried samba following another guide and figured this would be better. Can anyone help me out please? Thanks for all your help
