Re: CIFS/SMBFS not mounting windows share

" //Drew-pc/d /home/drew/pc cifs uid=drew,user=drew,password=_password_ "
will get me an icon labeled "pc" in the devices area, but when I click on it all I get is "mount: only root can mount //Drew-pc/d on /home/drew/pc"
using SMBFS in fstab wouldn't even get the "pc" device to show up, so I figure that's a lost cause.
I've been googling like a mofo, but I haven't seen anything about mounting as root. What the heck am I missing, here?
can you not just use the mount command?
Code:
sudo mount <server>:/dir /local/dir
