How to map a network drive?
I am unable to map a Windows network drive in Ubuntu. I executed the following command in the terminal:
karthick@karthick:~$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=raghu //172.29.32.184 /media/Data/
Password:
mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
But it returned an error. I hope someone can sort this out.

I think you need to also pass the windows share name as well as confirm that you've created /media/Data
sudo mkdir /media/Data
Use something like
smbclient -L //172.29.32.184
to list the shares, then append the share name to your mount
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=raghu //172.29.32.184/sharename /media/Data/
Note- If you receive the error:
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on...make sure you have cifs-utils installed, it may not be installed on your distro by default.
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
If you need to mount your windows share permanently then there is an excellent HowTo by dmizer UbuntuForums Staff (scroll to the permanent mount section)- I wont reproduce the advice here because its got some excellent debugging hints and tips and other workarounds that you may encounter.

Spot on. In order to map a share (even using Windows as the client) you have to point directly at a share. You can't mount the entire computer and you can't [directly] mount a subdirectory of the share.

Edit for 2018 and beyond: After 14.04, ubuntu seems to no longer use .gvfs, so the below might not work for you. Sorry for sharing what worked for me when I answered... Additional commentary no longer required.
Another way is to use the file browser to connect to a network location. Then it is mounted under ~/.gvfs
From there, you can mkdir ~/winbox and then ln -s ~/.gvfs/blahblahblah ~/winbox.
I recall there being some permanence to this, but I forget the details. :P I was developing php/odbc app for Quickbooks which needs to be run on the Quickbooks computer.

@KeithM it sounds like your situation is different than Ubuntu/Gnome from 3 years ago. You should start a new question with your setup asking for advice and also link to this question saying you tried the things here.

Edit for 2018 and beyond: After 14.04, ubuntu seems to no longer use .gvfs, so the below might not work for you. Sorry for sharing what worked for me when I answered... Additional commentary no longer required.
Another way is to use the file browser to connect to a network location. Then it is mounted under ~/.gvfs
From there, you can mkdir ~/winbox and then ln -s ~/.gvfs/blahblahblah ~/winbox.
I recall there being some permanence to this, but I forget the details. :P I was developing php/odbc app for Quickbooks which needs to be run on the Quickbooks computer.

@KeithM it sounds like your situation is different than Ubuntu/Gnome from 3 years ago. You should start a new question with your setup asking for advice and also link to this question saying you tried the things here.
