Hello Mario,
AFAIK, usually, the distros come with two packages for samba: samba server
and samba-tools. The second one contains only the tools to connect to a
Samba/Windows server and should be enough to allow you to connect a server.
If you want to compile yourself the whole package, then you should read
carefully the config options.
To help you debug the problem, you should try from console a smbmount
command, something like
mount -o ip=ip.of.your.server //share_name /folder_whereto_mount -t smbfs
it will prompt you for the password, assuming the name your Linux user name.
Maybe you will want to give a try to LinNeighborhood (freshmeat.net).
Let us know please, about your proceedings.
Best regards,
Valentin FRUNZA
