Thank you for the clarification, Thierry. I changed my fstab entry like
this:
//192.168.4.10/NetworkShare /shares/windows_f cifs
nodfs,auto,rw,credentials=/root/.creds,uid=ttwaro,gid=ttwaro 0 0

and rebooted. Still does NOT work. However, when manually running "sudo
mount /shares/windows_f" I now receive this error:
[ 823.764453] CIFS: Unknown mount option nodfs

 From what I have read I believe I need an update for my current version
of kernel (2.6.27-9-generic). Guess I'll have to wait until then to try
this.
