Very Computer

I am a graphic designer, and not a computer guru.  Could a kind soul give me
a hand with this in plain english?  Without going to technical jargon unless
it's necessary?  This is my first time using Linux, so I'm still getting
used to it, and don't know a whole heck of a lot about it.

Thank you!

smbmount //<computerName>/<shareName> <mountPoint>

computerName = The Windows name of the computer
sharename = The name of the share that you have
mountPoint = The directory on Linux that you want to mount too

You may have to bring up the explorer on your Windows computer and actually do
a "right click" and go into the sharing section and create a share for the
directory that you want to be able to access on your linux box.

See ya
