"smbclient -L hostname"

to find out what the Linux box's shares are actually called.

Pay attention to the workgroup, make sure it is spelled and capitalized
exactly as you have in in the Winblows machines...

Once you have everything the same... go to a winblows machine and open up
"My Computer".
Enable the "Map Network Drive" icon if it does not appear. Click on this
Icon and select a drive letter.

Under path type

\\Linuxboxname\sharename

Click ok. (where Linuxbox name is the name that appears in BOTH your
smbclient dump and as your machine name! and sharename is one of the valid
sharenames that smbclient displayed...)

If you read the section about passwords in the docs, after entering the
password for the USERNAME you used when you LOGGED INTO WINBLOWS, your
mapping will appear.
