Samba Woes

So I have samba working correctly on one linux box to allow me to
mount shares on my windows 2003 server. But when I try on my second
linux box I keep getting some crappy wrong fs type ....... with tons
of other options of what could be wrong. I downloaded the source,
configured it, performed make, make install and then I had no smb.conf
file. I made one -- actually copied it from my other machine that
works, and I can't mount. When I try to just mount without -t smbfs I
get an error that the kernel can't handle smb file systems. So I can
get to the server to discover the smb filesystem. Then I try to use
mount -t smbfs -o username=something,password=smells //Server/Folder
//mount/fileServer This gives me the wrong fs type, bad sector error.
 But when I turn around and use my other linux box the command works.
What am I missing? Apparently all the installers work for micro$oft
and all the smart people are working on linux.
