This is an alternative to SMBFS that I use. A bit of a challenge to get going, but it uses a different handler so it might dodge whatever bug in SMBFS is causing your crash.

Matt, did you have problems getting SMBCN to authenticate? Using the same share and the same logon credentials, SMBCN fails to authenticate whereas SMBFS works fine :-?

I remember it being pretty flakey - definitely depended on the phase of the moon to work correctly.

With Miami and my setup, it'll often erroneously bring up a Login/Password window if there's a general problem connecting. The PC's hostname and IP address need to be in your hosts database (not quite sure where AmiTCP/Genesis stores it, but it's there), and this is Hell if you use DHCP.

I think you can create mountlists with SMB-Handler - maybe the manual route is the way to go.

It might choke with Vista. Not sure if there's any way to deal with that. I've had it somewhat working with XP Pro, and working well with Win98.
