 For mounting directories do

mount -t smbfs //windows_machine/share_name
/Linux_directory/mount_point -o windows_user= xxxxxx,

it will then ask for the password for the user give the password.

If you want to add the entry for this in the /etc/fstab

//windows_machine/share_name   /linux_directory/mount_point smbfs 
credentails=/etc/.smb 0 0

in /etc/.smb

windows_username = xxxxxx

password=xxxx(windows_username password)

As you have said you are getting error try with cifs


mount -t cifs //windows_machine/share_name
/Linux_directory/mount_point -o windows_user= xxxxxx,
