    A) You don't have to join a domain to access/mount a Windows share.

    B) Just like in Windows, you can't "mount" the machine itself - you must specify the share name:

    mount -t XXX //WIN_MACHINE/SHARE_NAME /mnt/share_name

    ** Note that depending on the version, the -t parameter may be cifs or smbfs.
