Creating a mount point for Windows shares with Mandriva 2008

[Tyler Aviss]

Just a little confused here.
Is this a mountpoint on your 'nix box to mount shares from an XP box
(windows share mounted on 'nix)
Or a samba mountpoint to mount on the XP box (samba share mounted on XP)?

Looks like it's the first one, but I'm just checking. In that case,
how about if you mount+browser manually from console (mount -t smbs)
or via something like sm4k?
