I use fc6 and this is the only Linux system in a small office which uses a router to connect other PCs installing with the Windows XP. I want to access their shared files through the network and I type:
mount -t smbfs -o username=USER,password //192.168.1.3/ReceptionDoc /mnt/ReceptionDoc
It replies that: mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'
But it works in fc4, Any one can help me? :(

Do a 'man mount'.
Memory may be playing tricks on me, but I recall changes to Samba mounts over the past few releases. Too hazy to be specific unfortunately. Is Samba installed on your machine?
Cheers

yes, drunkahol, thank you, the samba is insatlled. After posting this thread, I try very best to serach in the net. Thence I simply replace "smbfs" to "cifs" resolve my problem. I don't know why the smbfs no longer valid.
Anyway, thanks for your help
