Let's say the IP address of the Windows machine is 192.168.2.3
Let's say the folder in windows is shared as "MyFolder"
Let's say the /mnt/MyWin is directory you want to mount in linux
Let's say the username in Windows is "MyUser"
Let's say the password in Windows is "MyPasswd"

Then add the following line to your /etc/fstab

//192.168.2.3/MyFolder /mnt/MyWin smbfs
username=MyUser,password=MyPasswd,user,noauto 0 0

Then just mount using "mount /mnt/MyWin" from the terminal
