...as root...

smbmount //other_machines_IP_or_name/share_name /mnt/c -o
lfs,username=blah,password=blah

for the /mnt/c - just make sure an empty folder exists there. After the
mount, /mnt/c will show the remote share.

I always add the -o lfs (large file support - covers files 2+ gigs),
username and pw specifiy if needed.
