Sorry about the Linux distro.  It's FC6.  I entered the following and 
got it to work:
       mount -t cifs -o username=Administrator,password=####### 
//192.168.1.101/music /mnt/music

So, for the next dumb question:  can I somehow put this into my 
/etc/fstab so it can be mounted up automatically?  I'm assuming a line 
similar to the following should be close:
       //192.168.1.101/music   /mnt/music   cifs   
username=Administrator,password=####### 0 0

Thanks for all the help!
