Mounting a Samba Share in Ubuntu

I setup Ubuntu Linux on my desktop machine as a dual boot, and I've been having lots of fun setting things up. I've got Open Office, Firefox, XMMS for music - I'm almost set.

One thing that was bugging me was trying to mount a network drive. I followed the directions, but I was still having trouble.

The error was:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option,bad superblock on //servername/sharename, missing codepage or other error

and the syslog showed:

smbfs: mount_data version 1684370019 is not supported

I looked around for a while, and I finally found that I needed to install smbfs.

sudo apt-get install smbfs

I hope this page is indexed soon, because I found the question in a number of places, but only one site had the fix.
