Problems Mounting Remote Disk Drive

I am trying to mount a remote hard drive that is in a windows machine (it is not the boot drive). It was working for a little while but now I cant seem to get it to work, Here is the command:

mount -v -t cifs //192.168.1.3/F /mnt/F

mount.cifs kernel mount options unc=//192.168.1.3\F,ip=192.168.1.3,user=root,pass=passwo rd,ver=1,rw

using verbose mode i noticed that the user is root. Will this work? only user on that box is administrator. is there a way to specify a username when mounting?

It's OK to have root, provided you make the permissions on directory F in the server to be rwrwrw. If you want to make it for user e.g. "norman" then make norman a user on the server and add norman to the Samba user database with password xyzetc and make permissions on F (in the server) to be rwrwrw and then use this:

mount -t cifs -o username=norman,password=xyzetc //192.168.1.3/F /mnt/F
