Hello again,

Sorry for the long time to reply.

I've been going around on how to do this. I set up Wireshark and saw 
what the server was transmitting. However I'm not really sure about what 
I should send here.

Anyway I did a "ls" on a dir with a file named "Coleção", and wireshar 
captured "cole \247 \243o". I send a few frames from tcpdump where that 
happens.

How can I see if my distro defaults to UTF-8 on the client?

I'm using:
Linux kernel 3.2.0-4-amd64
(Debian Wheezy)
mount.cifs version: 5.5


Thanks in advance.
