hmm I meant [server] :)

Yes, smbclient \\\\[server]\\[service] :) works fine and [server] is the
win95 machine, in this case it is "neb's pc" (dont ask me why.. its a
friends PC....)
so:

$ smbclient "\\\\neb's pc\\c"

works fine...
I understand that with smbmount you have to use //[server]/[service] , and
that [server] is the server's hostname (in this case "neb"), not it's
netbios name ("neb's pc").
Oh, if I dont use -n with smbmount, I get a "Password:" prompt. I guess
that means it has connected fine?
