you haven't got the syntax quite right.  
The fstab entry for mounting my router's smb share looks like this (all on one
line of course):

//192.168.7.5/chris    /mnt/router  smbfs  
credentials=/root/.routercreds,uid=chris,umask=0744      0 0

you can probably ignore the credentials part. the share is named chris on the
other machine. 

hope this helps
