$ smbclient -L zzz  [-U xxx]
# mkdir /mnt/smb
# mount -t smbfs [-o username=xxx,password=yyy] "//zzz/sss" /mnt/smb'

where:
zzz = the computer name

sss = the share name of the folder, which will be listed in the first 
command if all goes well

xxx = username

yyy = that username's password on the computer


If you don't have a username/password, leave out everything in brackets. 
Either way, don't actually type the brackets.

You may also need to do stuff to /etc/samba/smb.conf, I don't remember.

Hope that works/helps.

smb.conf has the enviroment paramenters for the samba server (smbd and 
nmbd), you shouldnt need to modify it to use the samba client, either using 
mount or one of the desktops browsers.

&gt;&gt;On KDE, use smb://MACHINE_NAME  in konqueror. Or else use the Smb4k
&gt;&gt;or
&gt;&gt;Komba  program (Smb4k is installed on Mandrake by default).
