Adding network mount - immediate crash
Zhillsguy:
Half an idea is a good start, maybe we can help fill in a little of the gap.
In my opinion, if you are not committed to the Debian install, you may consider installing a more user friendly Linux environment based on Debian, such as Linux Mint (my favorite), or one of the Ubuntu variants (Ubuntu, Lubuntu, MATE, etc.). Forum support for all of these distros is great, and their forums are generally well laid out with folks willing to help. Father Debian can be quite daunting. When I first started using MC for linux I tried many of the Debian variants, and mounting my network share was done the same way in all.
When you install one of the other distros more than likely you will have a choice to install the new distro along side Debian, making a choice between them at boot, so you won't really lose anything.
All that being said, you may need to post more details to get help with the issue, such as what files you modified to enable the share, and what text strings you are using in those files.

I tried Mint actually before debian. I only installed debian because the JRiver said its main support was for debian. I dont have a terrific amount of experience with the gazillion of linux forks. I have OpenMediaVault as my nas and thats about it.
Mint was the same, in that I am astounded CIFS etc is not just part of the install, it makes it such a terrible experience for newbies, its how I always feel the times I revisit linux over all these years, 'closed doors, you're not invited unless you can programme, go away.'
You would have thought some fork somewhere would be aligning itself as closely with the windows/mac experience out of the box. i.e. there on the desktop is your network shares just like that.
Well anyway I am rambling. I'll have a poke around to find the webpages I visited and try to show you whats what. A heads up on how to get a log file from Media Center would be cool though..

Couple thoughts:
1) Are there spaces in your mount point name?
2) Have you considered using NFS instead of CIFS?

Major reason is that CIFS is deprecated.

CIFS is common name for all SMB-filesystems in Linux, even for SMB 3.x
