Yes, I just double-checked to make sure that I wasn't being an idiot and the samba client is installed. I'm running mount -av from the terminal while the machine is up and running, not as part of the startup process, so the network is definitely up and running.

I am attempting to mount a Windows 2003 share to a mount point on my Suse Linux 10 box. When I type:
Mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt/point -o user=Me,password=mine
Everything works perfectly. However, when I put the following entry in fstab:
//server/share /mnt/point cifs user=Me,password=mine,rw 0 0
And then run
Mount -av
I get the following output:
parsing options: rw,username=Me,password=mine
mount.cifs kernel mount options unc=//server\share,ip=192.168.10.15,ver=1,rw,username=Me,password=mine
retrying with upper case share name
mount.cifs kernel mount options unc=//server\share,ip=192.168.10.15,ver=1,rw,username=Me,password=mine
mount error 6 = No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong here?
Wonderful spacing between the lines. Do you actually have the samba-client package installed? It's a common thing I have run into. It might be possible that CIFS is not handled the same as NFS, i.e. that it mount -av, as part of the boot process, is trying to mount it before the network has been set up? -`J' -- -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
