There are any number of tools to mount remote Samba shares. One even comes with Samba. Read 'man mount.cifs'.

I think jaideep_jdof was looking for some sort of gui.
Try pyneighborhood. Out of development by the point, but it semi-works. Pretty light weight. You could also run "pacman -Ss samba" and see what you come up with.

I used "fusesmb" on my xfce a while ago. It mounts the smb as an folder - i liked it.

I could never get that working. Read a bunch of stuff about how to use it, every man page and web page in existence and it still wouldn't mount my share. smbmount always worked, though.
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

smbnetfs is not working anymore a fter a reboot. I installed smbnetfs asper the instructions in the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acc … g_smbnetfs, only difference was the fuse.conf wasn't there so i created one. Following are the details:
Module line in my rc.conf reads:
MODULES=(tg3 wl snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore acpi-cpufreq fuse vboxdrv)
The daemon line reads:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng iptables !network netfs crond hal wicd fam @httpd @sshd smbnetfs mysqld @postgresql @bluetooth @cpufreqd @alsa slim)
/etc/fuse.conf reads:
user_allow_other
lsmod | grep fuse:
fuse 59584 2

Yup, see the comments in /etc/smbnetfs/.smb/smbnetfs.conf

If you have a windows laptop about that is enabling and disabling the network card all the time to save power. You may need to adjust smbnetfs's refresh times.

What should be the appropriate refresh timing.
