Acer Aspire One how to mount samba share
October 7th, 2008
First open a terminal, click alt f2, and type terminal.
Create the folder where you want it to be mounted.
mkdir ~/share
To mount the share use the below command.
sudo mount -t cifs //ip/share ~/share -o user=guest
If the share is writable, then use the below command.
sudo mount -t cifs //ip/share ~/share -o user=guest,rw
Example if the share needs a password.
sudo mount -t cifs //ip/share ~/share -o user=username
You don’t need to enter password in command, you will be prompted if a password is needed. Thanks Peter for the info.

Brilliant starting point. But leave the password because you will be prompted for it. So:
sudo mount -t cifs //ip/share ~/share -o user=username
or switch to root and do:
mount -t cifs //ip/share ~/share -o user=username
In both cases just provide the password you are prompted for.
I get this
No ip address specified and hostname not found
Did you change “ip” with the correct IP address of the computer with the share on it?
