Here is how I connect without using fatdog's networking apps

• First find the address of the Samba server using mpscan
  Example: 192.168.1.108

  Now type a command to make the connection

  Type a command in a terminal
  Example if share is named 'Downloads' -->
  mount.cifs //192.168.1.108/Downloads /root/network/newdir
  (alternate method)
  mount-FULL -t cifs //192.168.1.108/Downloads /root/network/newdir
