   The general form for smbclient is:

              smbclient //server-name/service

For example, to specify the "myfiles" shared directory on the server
whose NETBIOS name was "win.nt.com":

              smbclient //win.nt.com/myfiles

Note: the NETBIOS name is not always the same as the IP name.

      smbclient -L "server-name" (without the "") 

will give you a listing of the "services" available on that server.

The -D option is used for changing to a specified directory on your
machine before starting.
The -n option would be used to if you had to pass your NETBIOS name to
the server.
The -U is is your username that the server knows.

Most of the time
smbclient //<machine-you-want-to-connect-to>/<share-you-want> is
enough. You will be prompted for a password.
