I have a usb hard drive hooked up to my netgear router that I have been using to store music, documents, etc. and access on my netbook. Since 10.04, I have been able to automount it at login by:

creatinga a /media/carlserver folder editing fstab to include:

Mount our network drive

//192.168.1.1/usb_storage /media/carlserver cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0

opening a terminal and typing "sudo mount -a"

Since upgrading to 12.10 from 12.04, this no longer works. The "carlserver" shortcut is still in nautilus, but when I click on it it says: " only root can mount //192.168.1.1/usb_storage on /media/carlserver"

I've tried typing sudo mount -a in a terminal, but get an error message that says: "mount error(22): Invalid argument"

Any help would be appreciated.
