I have one linux ubuntu/kubuntu 9.04 PC (upstairs) connected over a netgear router to a windows vista PC (downstairs).
I am trying to mount the windows vista shared directory on the linux box.
I managed to do it: I can list the files, copy the files from the windows file system to the linux file system but cannot create or delete files on the windows shared drive.
To mount the windows shared drive, I added the following line in the /etc/fstab
mind you i have no means of testing this but i know how frustrating permissions can be this way there is no security and everything should be readable writeable and deleteable.
hope you can do something with it

- tried to use uid=0 (thorkelljarl)
- tried to use wabbalee idea
without success.

However, I cannot find any (simple) help on fusermount after a few goggling around.
Any idea where I could get some simple explanations?
