"I mounted it on a Debian distro in VirtualBox and it worked without a problem:

(Check if needed http://wvarner.blogspot.com/2008/05/installing-virtualbox-guest-additions.html)

"Not sure what the command is exaclty for fedora, but here are a couple of examples:

sudo smbmount \\\\192.168.1.10\\c\$ /mnt/localFolder/ -o username=administrator
mount -t cifs \\\\WindowsHostName\\utility /mnt/localfolder -o username=administrator

And you might need a package like smbfs or samba-client."
