Another possibility
Authored by: mcwelch16 on Oct 05, '04 05:31:33PM

I was just having immense trouble mounting a workgroup. I even checked just about every forum I could find and didn't find the answer that solved my problem. My persistence payed off, however and I discovered something that got my system working. In the Authentication for loggin onto a server it says "WORKGROUP/DOMAIN". By default, it was displaying my workgroup and nothing more. I added a '/' to the end of the workgroup (my domain is empty) and all of a sudden everythign was working perfectly.

To save myself the trouble of having to type the '/' every time, I modified my connect line to say "smb://WORKGROUP/;SERVER/SHARE"

I hope this will help save some people some time and frustration.
