Smb Client HowTo

From Computer First Aid Using Knoppix by Cedric Shock and Susan Sullivan, used with permission.

To rescue use SMB (Windows Networking), you need a connection to a local area network, and another computer running on the network, with a shared folder you can access. If your local area network that was not automatically configured properly, see Local Area Networks.

Before you begin, you will need to know the following information about the other computer:
Workgroup:
Username:
Password:
Computer Name:
Shared Folder:

If the computer is running windows 95, 98, or ME and does not require a password for the shared folder, the username is "guest" and the password is blank.

At this point there are two options for connecting to the computer. The first option is slightly easier, but doesn't always work; try it first. The second option is a little harder, but is rock solid.
