Lets say the Windows PC has a host Name as : WindowsPC
And share folder is : share1
So the network share path is : //WindowsPC/share1

Now to Access those on your Rpi
1. Create folder in the /mnt/ folder so that you can mount your network share in that folder
$sudo mkdir mountfoldername

2. Two Ways to access

2.1 Guest Share
sudo mount -t cifs -o guest //WindowsPC/share1 /mnt/mountfoldername

Tip: If your share has space then run the following command, notice the quotes
sudo mount -t cifs -o guest "//WindowsPC/Share 1" /mnt/mountfoldername

2.2 Password Protected Share
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=yourusername,password=yourpassword //WindowsPC/share1 /mnt/mountfoldername

sudo mount -t cifs //19.16.16.6/someDir /mnt/Y -o username=[name],password=[pw],vers=1.0,sec=ntlm

3. Now to check that its mounted , run the following command
$ df -h

Returns something like
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 7.3G 2.0G 5.0G 29% /
/dev/root 7.3G 2.0G 5.0G 29% /
tmpfs 19M 228K 19M 2% /run
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 37M 0 37M 0% /tmp
tmpfs 10M 0 10M 0% /dev
tmpfs 37M 0 37M 0% /run/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p1 56M 36M 21M 64% /boot
//WindowsPC/share1 1.9T 1.5T 390G 80% /mnt/mountfoldername

Notice the last line

4. Now you can access the contents by traversing the following path
$ cd /mnt/mountfoldername

Now if we reboot we need to again mount this network share.

To Automount the network shares everytime on boot follow on

1. We need to edit the /etc/fstab file, Run the following command to edit the /etc/fstab file

$sudo nano /etc/fstab

2. Append the following to the /etc/fstab file

For Guest Login
//WindowsPC/Share1 /mnt/mountfoldername cifs guest 0 0

For Password Protected Login
//WindowsPC/Share1 /mnt/mountfoldername cifs username=yourusername,password=yourpassword 0 0

For Share names with a space

Check the References link

3. Save the File and run the more command to check if the file is updates
$more /etc/fstab

Returns something like
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0
# a swapfile is not a swap partition, so no using swapon|off from here on, use dphys-swapfile swap[on|off] for that
//WindowsPC/Share1 /mnt/mountfoldername cifs guest 0 0

4. Now Reboot and check that your network share is auto mounted with the following command
$ df -h

Returns

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 7.3G 2.0G 5.0G 29% /
/dev/root 7.3G 2.0G 5.0G 29% /
tmpfs 19M 228K 19M 2% /run
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 37M 0 37M 0% /tmp
tmpfs 10M 0 10M 0% /dev
tmpfs 37M 0 37M 0% /run/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p1 56M 36M 21M 64% /boot
//WindowsPC/Share1 1.9T 1.5T 390G 80% /mnt/mountfoldername

Notice the last line here

To UnMount

$sudo umount //WindowsPC/Share1

Done 

sudo umount  //192.168.1.3/pi

RW Mount file

sudo mount -t cifs  //192.168.16.5/pi  /mnt/Code  -o uid=pi,username=cim,password=cim

sudo mount -t cifs  //192.168.16.5/pi  /mnt/Code  -o uid=pi,username=cim,password=cim,vers=1.0,sec=ntlm





mount on ubuntu 
sudo mount -t cifs  //192.168.168.35/pi  /mnt/code  -o uid=cim,username=cim,password=cim,vers=2.1
