You should start with basics (my apologies if you've already confirmed such) and make sure that you can read the files at all after having mounted the cifs share. Try running an arbitrary command on one of the files via CLI; something like the following should do: "file /path/to/share/[file]" If you get any sort of output other than the type of file you happened to run the command on (the "file" command outputs the file type and other useful info), then report back with the output and we should be able to go further. If you're sure the share is mounted correctly and you can run arbitrary commands on the files in the share, but just not in the GUI, then let us know which GUI programs you're using when trying to access the files. Or, (even better), open a terminal window and run the program from CLI, so that you can see the output (should show errors, etc.). -- Andre Goree -=-=-=-=-=- Email - andre at drenet.net Website - http://www.drenet.net PGP key - http://www.drenet.net/0x83ADAAAB.asc -=-=-=-=-=-
