I have a ntfs share on my server 2003 box and i want to mount it in my ubuntu server box. i can see the share when i type smbclient -L ip but if i try to use smbmount it says that the command cannot be found. also if i try the mount -t ntfs //ip/sharename /mnt/sharefolder it tells me that the special mount device //ip/sharename does not exist. I only want it to read from this share and my 2003 permissions are set correctly. anyone know how to get this to mount?

Perhaps this is a permissions issue. Have you tried sudo in front of the commands? The password requested will be your user password. You could also try the GUI approach. System-> Administration-> Shared Folders.
