Thanks Jim,

I am not so sure samba installed correctly. My attempt at a samba mount failed:

ts7500:~# smbmount //192.168.2.100/WiFiBox2 mnt/workspace -o 
username=burnsmicro,password=****
-bash: smbmount: command not found

Other attempts to invoke samba were equally unsuccessful:

ts7500:~# samba
-bash: samba: command not found
ts7500:~# cifs
-bash: cifs: command not found
ts7500:~# smb
-bash: smb: command not found


Am I missing something obvious again?

Thanks,

Bob Furber
