for a situation like this, your company stores some of there files (the important ones) on a server which happens to a windows server (let's call it COMPANYSERVER), and every employee has a username (for you it's USER) and a password (yours is PASS), and you are running (for some unknown reason) Linux on your computer, and you want to directly access a folder on the COMPANYSERVER called DEPARTMENTFOLDER, and deal with it as a mounted folder on your machine (or you just want to listen to mp3's in that folder on xmms which doesn't support the smb thing). well you have to do the following:
first create a folder on your computer to mount that folder to lets do it in the home folder and call it MOUNTEDFOLDER by:
$ mkdir ~/MOUNTEDFOLDER
ok now you have to mount that windows folder by issuing
$ mount -t smbfs -o username=USER,password=PASS //COMPANYSERVER/DEPARTMENTFOLDER ~/MOUNTEDFOLDER/
I know it's a beginner's thing, it's just to remind me in the future
