Hello. I have this in my fstab:
//10.0.1.2/public/Video /home/jan/Video cifs auto,user=xxxx,password=xxxxxxxx 0 0
I doesn't mount. When I use mount -a I get permission denied. I can connect from the network menu in places->network. Is there any changes in the mount.cifs regarding permissions? I do run the mount -a as root.

What is your mount.cifs version?
Mine is the last one (1.14-3.5.3) and I don't have any problem.
Try to mount it manually:
#mount -t cifs //10.0.1.2/public/Video /home/jan/Video -o user=xxxx,password=xxxxxxxx
and see if it raises the same error.

Same problem with "mount -t cifs". Whitch program are you referring to. Isn't cifs part of smbclient. I have gvfs-smb 1.6.2-1 installed.

Yes!
[root@p3 ~]# mount.cifs --version
mount.cifs version: 1.14-3.5.4
[root@p3 ~]# pacman -Q smbclient
smbclient 3.5.4-1
Which server are you trying to connect?
Windows?
Samba?
Which version?
Is there a DOMAIN?
If there is a DOMAIN_NAME try to mount with the domain name:
#mount -t cifs //10.0.1.2/public/Video /home/jan/Video -o domain_name/user=xxxx,password=xxxxxxxx

Thankyou. Didn't know about the --version option. I have mount.cifs 1.14-3.5.3 and smbclient 3.5.3-1. It isn't a fresh install of those packages. I have had it running for over half a year and I find it really annoying that I can connect with my girlfriends win7 computer but not automatically with my own ArchLinux one anymore. My NAS gets 10.0.1.2 from my router and the share is /public/Video. No domaine. I can connect manually but the rest of the family can't, and thats a problem because I have set it up to be a MythTV mediaserver for all members of the family. I set it to mount at boot-time to make life easy for non Linux users. I also tried smbnetfs but that didn't work either. "Route to host not found".

"Route to host not found".
This seems to be a network issue...
All of your computers are in the same subnet? (e.g. 10.0.1.2 - 10.0.1.3 - 10.0.1.6)
If they are not, samba server (linux) can broadcast for several subnets, but it must be configured to do that. Windows servers normally don't brodcast to different subnets.
It's better to check if all ip's in the are same subnet.
If this is not the problem, it can be a firewall issue, or a routing problem.
Check if the firewall is not blocking traffic between computers inside the local network, or if you can ping to each computer.
