I've never mounted a windows machine via smb but from the error
message it sounds that there is additional data neededl to do so; I
assume something like username/password to connect to the other
machine ? Looking at the manpage of smbmount or mount.smbfs might help
further.

This is the first manpage I found with google, you might want to look
on your local system:
