Very Computer

Yes, but I dont have a password set in this windows machine even a user!!
With other windows machines, I can map the shared files without users or
passwords!!

Well, afaik the box has at least the user account "Administrator",
even you choose not to do login when the XP box boots.
The password may be empty in this case, but i don't know
since i don't use XP.

Well the error message points out, that your box does not have a share with that
name. Ok, this might be confusing since it may be the result of failed
authentification.

Just take a windows box which can log onto the share,
go into it's network neighbourhood, browse the XP box
and look, how the available shares are named.

Try to use this in //192.168.99.100/<ShareName>.
Try with user Administrator and empty password, too.

P.S.: one "PLEASE" in the body of your post would have been enough:-)

People I know the answer now!!!!

It was stupid of me of course!!!
In de windowsXP(Professional)-PC I am sharing a whole disk!!
I only want to mount(on linux) the map named Pictures(from the
WIndowsXP-PC).
This disk has the label name "Over(G):\" in windowsXP
so the path to the map I want,  is seen from the network as
Over\Pictures
So the real answer was always there:

mount -t smbfs //192.168.99.100/Over/Pictures  /mnt/share/

It then asked me for a password and I gave an enter (no password).
And it mounted!!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!

I really appreciated all your effort
for trying to help me!!

This is what the world is all about!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
