Except, I'm kinda having problems with the instructions there. It says:

Code:
mount -t cifs //netbiosname/sharename /media/sharename -o user=winusername,pass=winpassword,ip=destip,direct
Here's what I believe the portions of this command mean:

- netbiosname: would be the name of my Windows PC in my Home LAN
- sharename: the name of a shared folder on that Win PC
- media/sharename: path to the folder on my N900 where I want the shared Windows folder to appear (???)
- winusername: the username I use to log on to my Win PC
- winpassword: The password that goes along with that username, which in my case is nothing, I didn't set one. Do I need to leave a space here, or the "," right after the "="?
Like: "...pass=,ip="..."?
OR: "...pass= ,ip=..."?
destip : the LAN-IP of my router? Or the one of the WinPC (if this, how do I find that out?)?

Everything correct?

And the whole thing is supposed to give me access from my N900 to that shared folder, located on the Win PC?
If so, How about vice versa?
I want the N900 to be visible to other PCs on the network and capable of exchanging files with them, that exchange being executed from the Win PC.
