Akemi,
I know with most mailing lists its common practice to flame every newbie with "read" something emails. But in this case I have been reading, and I think maybe if you had read my email below and my post you pointed out you would have realized that I have been reading and trying.
As for the man page for mount.cifs it is garbage to a newbie. It really is. Sure it gives you all the various switches / arguments but that is really it.
Show me where in the man page does it even mention /etc/fstab ?
Your reply served absolutely no purpose and helped in no way.
I believe I asked valid questions on understanding what I have done so far and how things work, I didn't ask for "how do I do this... or that".
Sorry you feel I have wasted your time.
TechGuy: Please control your frustration and your attitude. I too am a Linux newbie, and I can assure you, that on this mailing list, there are some of the nicest and most helpful people you will find in the world, on any mailing list. They will patiently try to help you, if you are polite. Akemi is one of the most helpful people here. Available to you, on centos.org is a Wiki and documentation that you can download in .pdf form and learn a lot from. RTFM and be polite.

Sorry but I don't feel I did anything wrong. My frustration and attitude is well placed especially with all the replies I am getting that are saying the same thing.
No one has obviously read my email or my questions.
I did read the wiki and other various documentation which is how and why I got where I was with it. In my email I did not ask anyone to tell me how to do anything.
I asked for clarification on what I had read and what I was understanding.
Isn't that the point of these groups and mailing lists?
