The CIFS protocol is pretty crazy so you're not going to write a full 
blown client. But Richard Sharp from Samba has been working on 
librarifying the client code for just this sort of purpose. Look for 
libsmbsclient. Of course Linux users can always just mount machines with 
smbfs.

Of course I think you're clock cycles would be better spent trying to 
find out why Nautulis crashes and resets constantly :~)
