This is a really easy way of mounting a windows share on a debian box. It takes like 5 minutes to install and perhaps less to setup.

First as root:

Apt-get install samba

Apt-get install smbfs

Then try the following to get the server mounted:

mount �t smbfs �o username=YOURWINDOWSUSER,password=YOURWINDOWSPASSWORD //SERVER/FILESHARE/YOURMOUNTPOINT
