hello guys

im new here Smilie

i need help for my work.

I have a NAS with CIF shared drive that many winxp/osx computers need to access.
But i also have a unix computer that works with a professional printer that needs to access the same shared folder as the winxp/osx guys.

i never, ever learned unix (ok i did some linux Smilie ) but was 3 years ago. So i dont know how to map the CIF drive from the NAS.

The same unix computer already has a cif mapped drive (not from the NAS, from winxp on another computer) but i dont know to mount the one i need.

help?

From solaris you cannot do that. You will need the NAS to export it using NFS.

Same applies here, it is not mounting a CIFS filesystem, at least not directly. It is exported in some other way.
