I've done it in 2 ways:

1.  Create an entry in your /etc/fstab using something like....

//misty2/USB-B          /home/myhome/misty2/USB-B smbfs 
noauto,user,rw,username=egreshko,password=whatever,uid=myuid,gid=mygid 0 0

Where misty2=windowsname
       USB-B=sharename

Then just issue the mount command.

2.  Use the smbmount command.
