read the friendly manual ;)
Ok, the answer belongs on what type of Network you use.
A UNIX network or a Windows Network or ...
Windows shares / drives use the smb protocol: smbmount ...
"UNIX shares" use normally nfs-shares:
mount -t nfs knuth.cwi.nl:/dir /localmountpoint -o rw

knuth.cwi.nl = remotehost
/dir = exported directory

hope this helps
