mount error(6): No such device or address when sharing windows folder to ubuntu

Viewed 48114

I have a windows shared folder named \\mymachine\sf and I want to map it as a ubuntu device. I use smbmount command as below:

smbmount //mymachine/sf /mnt/sf -o <username>

The output is like

retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

I'm sure the device exists and mymachine is ping'ed through.

Any idea?
