smbmount

["Kirkwood, David A" <DAVID.A.KIRKWOOD@xxxxxxxx>]

I have a linux system that, unfortunately lives in a mostly microsoft world.
I have samba enabled and can share my disks out with all the proper
permissions etc just fine. However,  on occassion I need files from a
windows server. The documentation for smbmount seems to indicate that I can
connect to the windows system if I know some wins information such as the
machine ID. How do I find this if I only know th ip, or better still what is
the syntax of the command I need to execute on the linux system. The remote
system is a windows server, but I don't know the version of the O/S.

As always, all help is appreciated.

Dave
