samba - Aug 2007 - forcing XP clients to use CIFS

Hi Guys!

Anyone know how can I do this trick?
I guess there is a registry value for it. As I noticed winxp try to use 
smbfs first not cifs. In linux it's easier because you can choose when 
you mount your shares.

Regards,
Jax

smbfs v cifsvfs is a matter of two implementations of the protocol
client, that happen to exist in the Linux Kernel.  

Windows XP only has one CIFS client, there is nothing to choose.

Maybe Jax meant getting the Windows CIFS client to always use SMB Direct
Host (TCP port 445), instead of using NetBIOS/TCP (TCP port 139)?
