...and bam, you're a CIFS client, no Samba required.

What specific application were you using to browse shares and in what way did it not work? Knowing that would help me figure out what it's trying to do and why it's not working.

We need more details on what your shares are.

Corona688,

I need the SAMBA as i explained it must come up on bootup, and therefore has to be in the fstab to auto load with all required passwords. Additionally this process has to be repeated on other machines to have fully functional network, sharing with the Linux and Windows servers.

Cheers!

PS

If it's not SAMBA, then the Windows computers on the network will not see any of the shares.
