Did you put the "sleep 30 &&" before the smbmount command?
Sometimes that is needed to make sure that everything is initialized.

I'd not use rc.local to mount external drive. If you see "network unreachable" in the first place, did you ever try to understand how/why it's being "reachable" afterward? Seems to me a system wide configuration problem. Where are you mounting the drive from - from a computer or off-the-shelf NAS drive? Is there anything in log - /var/log/messages? If you don't check the log for error messages and try to understand the underlying problem you maybe end up with wasting your time. Cheers!!!

I mount my TimeCapsule drive from /etc/fstab and I never had a failed mount. I don't know what "delay before trying to mount the drive" you talking about but I think network is/should be reachable way before /etc/fstab kicks in. I run a full DHCP service in my network and the hostname (which comes from DHCP) is set at the beginning. Wondering if I'm missing anything. cheers!!
