This is the kind of thing that turns people off linux. This should be a checkbox or right click menu item “logon to this drive every boot” when you mount it.

Using Ubuntu 10.04LTS
Why must I use the IP address to mount a (Win2K3 Svr) network drive using CIFS or SMBFS?
I have the Windows server in my /etc/hosts file as: my_hostname_which_pings_fine 192.168.1.40
pinging hostname: my_hostname_which_pings_fine returns a solid ping
WORKS:
[CODE]
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.40/Photos /media/mnt_club_id_images -o username=replication,password=mypassword
sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.40/Photos /media/mnt_club_id_images -o username=replication,password=mypasswordsudo mount -t
[/CODE/
FAILS:
[CODE]
sudo mount -t cifs //my_hostname_which_pings_fine/Photos /media/mnt_club_id_images -o username=replication,password=mypassword
sudo mount -t smbfs //my_hostname_which_pings_fine/Photos /media/mnt_club_id_images -o username=replication,password=mypasswordsudo mount -t
[/CODE]

when i run the failing commands at command prompt I get error:
[ERROR]
mount.cifs kernel mount options: unc=//bst_webserver\Photos,ver=1,rw,username=replication,nounix,ip=192.168.1.40,pass=********
mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Why does the hostname use fail but the IP Address use succeeds??
