Hi all,
sorry if this is in the wrong section but i could not find a more appropriate section.

could someone give me an example of mounting a network drive / share on a windows box from a mac?

i know how to do this in the finder but the command line in linux and os x has never really been my friend, and to be honest i am affraid of stuffing my mac over.

all i want it todo is mount the drive like you would through finder.

an example command line would be brilliant. or the correct programs i need to use to acomplish this, and i think i could manage the rest.

normally I would say mount_smbfs is the way to go. But there might be some issues with it in Leopard.
