So i tried this method "smb://Domain;User@server/share" which gives me a
pop-up asking for the users password which I supply
It then fails with the following error  "Cannot display location
smb://Domain;User@server/share Failed to mount Windows share"
Then I tried this format smb://Domain;User@IP Address/share which gives me a
pop-up asking for the users password which I supply
It then connects and works fine.  The question is why does it fail with the
servers name instead, does it not use netbios to resolve the server name and
if not then what is it using to try and resolve the server name.
