I not sure the windws computer i am trying to connect is well configured (we are both noobs )

If I am doing something wrong please let me know, as well as your suggestions

what exactly you are tying to do??

Say I have a machine name BOSS with sharename DATA and username/password is valid user on windoz box.

# smbclient //BOSS/DATA -U username

enter password on prompt (or use -U username%password)

for domain users use this too : -W domain_name
for un-resolved host use this too : -I ip_address

what i am trying to do is to:
frst to look ate the "name" of the computer
once i did it, i try to see which files folders disks etc is the computer sharing
