im trying to send a message to a windows machine

genjix@linux:~> smbclient -M //win
Connection to //win failed
genjix@linux:~> smbclient -M //win/
Connection to //win/ failed
genjix@linux:~> smbclient -M win
Connection to win failed
genjix@linux:~> smbclient -M winnetwork
Connection to network failed
genjix@linux:~> smbclient -M 192.168.1.1
session request failed

i don't use windows so im not familiar... why isn't it connecting? is there a setting on the other machine i have to use?

linux:/home/genjix # smbclient -M 192.168.1.1
session request failed
linux:/home/genjix # mount -t smbfs //win/Program\ Files tmp/
