This is correct and that directory can be anywhere you want,,(ie:
/home/frank/mongoose)

Understand that my comments are for systems on a contiguous network and have
not been verified over either a DSL or Dial Up Line.
Do I understand you correctly,,, you are trying to mount a 'remote' windows
share(charlie) on the Linux box(parker), which I assume is at work? or is
that vice versa?
> 1. <your server name> :
Your Linux box name will not change.
That is the Samba server I am talking about.
Are you behind a fire wall with your Linux box?
You may have an application for automount, where the share is automatically
mounted when you login!!

Your share on your '98 box is called what? you shared the C: drive as ''
mongoose''?

This is correct
