The release versions of the kernel do not configure in smb, even though you
could download the source kernel and configure smb FS, and then you would have
to install the smb package.
So instead of smb, you have cifs which is what is commonly used now to mount
directories that are shared by windows or other samba servers.
mount -t cifs //ipaddress/shareName /mountPoint
It will prompt you for a password. If your windows server is indeed expecting a
password, you will need to supply it. On my winXP Pro machines,
there is no per user authentication required (yeah... very secure!!!), so
when I am prompter for a password, I just press return. The share is mounted
read/write.
Good luck.
