I'm using the following command to mount a network drive:

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.15.10/web -o username=user,password=pass /mnt/fileserver

I've verified that the location, username, and password are all correct with the network administrator. But I'm not able to access it via /mnt/fileserver

I should point out that the destination folder is on a windows file server.

Is the Windows file server part of a domain? If so, you may need to use domain\user for the username.

I can mount another shared folder on this computer with a different user and using /shared instead of /web – Webnet Sep 30 '10 at 18:59
Permissions on /shared may be open to the Everyone group instead of a Domain Users or some other group which requires a domain username. I would guess /web is locked down further than /shared is. – Mike Sep 30 '10 at 20:28
