  Hi adi...welcome
  
  Are you trying to map via command line or are you using the file manager?
  
  Also are you on a traditional domain or just a workgroup type setup?
  
  I am sure we can get things working.

  Its a traditional domain (windows server 2008) i tried via the file manager and had no joy so switched to command line and heres where it went hazy....
  i think i understand that i have to create a folder then mount the shared drive into that folder but anyway i got lost and so aborted (although i would like to learn how this achieved).
  regards and thanks for the quick response
