Create a directory on your machine to use as a mount point for the share:

sudo mkdir /media/yoursharename

Then use the mount command to map a Windows share to the mount point you just created:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=nicorellius //server/sharename /media/yoursharename

You should now be to access the share from your /media/yoursharename mount point.
