fstab (mount), samba, and network startup order

I cannot add smb mount shares in my fstab because my network doesn't start up until after mount tries to parse /etc/fstab.  I get
"mount: SMB connection failed" errors on any entry in that file.  Of course, it works fine if I do it manually after everything is started up.  Of course, I could put a command in /etc/profiles or something like that, but why am I having this problem?  Where does it say "mount starts up before/after networking?"
