Yes,
you have to mount the windows share you need to connect to.
Example:
create the directory /mnt/samba on your linux box
to connect to the share called 'open' on a windows box called 'hydra' with ip address 192.168.0.1 you would do this
mount -t smbfs -o ip=192.168.0.1,username=valid_username,password=valid_password //hydra/open /mnt/samba
This should work.
