Try running as the root. You can use 'sudo mount windows sambafile' to temporary mount the shared drive.

hi kuyalfinator
i tried 'sudo mount smb://janu-7e7a912070 (windows sambafile) to another folder( i created mkdir)

result:failed to resolve server smb:no address associated with hostnome

There is a hint right there "no address associate with hostname"
