Do I understand correctly, do you mean are you able to connect to the Windows shared drives on your Linux Machine.

If so, yes you can you need to use either smbclient which works like ftp, or smbmount - which is called by mount ie:

mount //<windowsmachine>/<windowsshare> /<linuxmountpoint> -tsmbfs 


on my system i use 

mount //gandalf/c /mnt/smb/gandalf/c -tsmbfs -oguest

the -oguest is so windows does not ask for a password.

Hope that helps, 

Kimball
