Tried
Cifs For Whitelight

Insturctions for adding CIFS (Samba) support for White Light. This will allow your MyBookj to mount folder shared by Windows Stations.

* Login as root.
* mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.6.24.4/kernel/fs/cifs/

The next two lines downloads the file cifs.fo attached to this page and places it in /lib/modules/2.6.24.4/kernel/fs/cifs/:

* cd /lib/modules/2.6.24.4/kernel/fs/cifs/
* wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/cifs-for-whitelight/cifs.ko

* echo "/lib/modules/2.6.24.4/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko:"» /lib/modules/2.6.24.4/modules.dep
* insmod cifs.ko

Now you can mount Windows directories. For example

mkdir /mnt/xp_machine
mount -t cifs //`net lookup x`/y /xp_machine

where x is your windows box name, and y is the share name. There are many options for the mount command, see for example here, but you should use mount , not mount.cifs.

I get

[root@MyBookWorld 2.6.24.4]# mount -t cifs //192.168.XX.YY/XXXX/ /mnt/old/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.XX.YY/XXXXX/,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

any help appreciated

Hi

Please try mounting again and then post the result of these commands

dmesg | tail -20
cat /proc/version
cat /proc/modules

Also try mounting the windows system with smbclient, and see if it works. smbclient does not rely on cifs.ko.

smbclient -L WindowsHostName
smbclient //hostname/share

Also also if the windows box is not all-English, please write which languages are used.
