mounting windows network drives

[Jean]

I'm new to linux / kubuntu, installed it only last wednesday.

I'm confused as to how I can mount my windows network drives.

Entries in fstab are like this for the local drives:
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs fmask=0133,dmask=0022,uid=1000,gid=1000,auto,ro,us er 0 0

The names of the network drive if I access them via samba, for instance the mp3's I have on the server are like these:
smb://jean-08fec9f0d0/D/Mp3/GratefulDead etc.

Do I enter something into fstab or what? Do I have to make a folder somewhere.

Thanks for your help.
Jean.

Hi srikar

You advised me yesterday yes. But that script did not detect the network drives, only the local ones.

[Edit]

I followed the advice at this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248656
and now have this entry in my fstab:
//192.168.1.10/D /media/serverc smbfs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,dmask=777,fmask=777 0 0
Since that share has no password I left the credentials file empty, only username= and password= are in there.

but mount - a gives me an error and tells me additional info is:

Try this... It's for Mandrake, but it shouldn't be too different.
Also make sure you have the smbfs package installed

Try using smb4k. It is a KDE application that you can use to scan for samba shares and mount them in your home directory by double clicking on them. Install it through the Adept package manager. I use this because I am using a laptop with a wireless connection and don't necessarily want my shares mounted at boot.

Thank you. This works. At least now I can access them.
