Thanks for the comments Thomas.

I completely removed network manager but still got CIFS error messages (same as Mappy above), so this may not be the workaround for everyone. I did remove NM though rather than disabling it as you suggest.

However removing NM was a no-go for me as it prevented me connecting to our server via VPN. We're using the VPN Connection Manager (PPC generic) which is a PPTP plugin for NM according to the blurb. So this path is probably not for me - unless someone knows of an alternative way to connect to VPN?

The reason I removed NM initially was to try Wikd - but they do not have VPN support yet.
