My settings in wizard-mounter are like this:

Server address: 192.168.0.196
Remote directory: newshare (this is the actual windows sharing name)

both username and password are left blank, I'm just using the simple sharing in windows without user authentication.

With these settings it just keeps on trying for a long(ish) while and then finally "Connection timed out".

Any suggestions?
For samba shares you must enter username/password (you can use the guest user if it is not setted on your server).
Btw for the "Connection timed out" error you'd better make sure that the remote address is correct (can you ping this address ?)
