[Solved]Slow samba mount of Windows 8

I'm trying to mount a samba share of a windows 8 machine.  Connection works and I can mount it, but it rather slow.  The wiki page suggests adding vers= to the options, and the man page for mount.cifs says that windows 8 is 3.0.  However I get an error when attempting to add that option I get the following error:

# sudo mount.cifs //NAS/Media /mnt/NAS  -o vers=3.0
mount error(112): Host is down

Is this a syntax error, or something else?

Solved it, ahould be vers=3
