I found smbfs in Synaptic so I installed that which resolved that error
message.
Now I get "mount error: could not resolve address for <windows-box>: unknown
error". I will start again tomorrow!

I told you I was new.

Sudo did the trick and all looking good until: "mount: unknown file system
type 'smbfs'"

Thank you. I have followed the instructions on the link and smbclient sees all

mkdir cannot create a directory - "Permission denied".

What is meant by <name-of-mount-point>? Is it the <window-box>, the share, the

No doubt it will soon be clear how "new" I am!

Objective : synchronise my Thunderbird profile between my Eee PC 1015 running Mint 12 and a NAS used as a file server on my windows network. (I have done this quite happily using SyncToy whe I was running Windows 7 on the same Eee PC)
