Mount windows shares in Linux

A post after a long time O:-)
You can mount your windows share and use like a normal file system quite easily and play music videos from other computer without actual transfer :).
In fedora 8

mount -t cifs //ip/sharename path_to_mount_point

for example:

mount -t cifs //192.168.1.5/music /mnt/samba

make sure "path_to_mount_point" exists otherwise you will have to create one.

In some other systems you may have to use "smbfs" instead of "cifs". I am not sure of this though as i never tried on any other system.

Another way to mount samba(ie windows) shares is through gnomevfs. Few applications like totem can make use of gnomevfs through Nautilus.

Also you can try your hand at "fusesmb". I tried this with little success.
