Not all Unix variants can mount a windows share to the filesystem. Notably, I know that Linux can. The BSD's may as well - I can't recall. AIX, for example, can't.
It depends entirely on your Unix.

tories to the network Specify which directories mounted from the network are to be remounted every time the system is rebooted, that is,
add an entry to the /etc/fstab file Add, change, or delete NFS entries from the /etc/exports file Share local UNIX directories with a per-
sonal computer (PC) when Advanced Server for UNIX is installed on your system Display local directories that are shared (exported) with the
network Display network mounts (directories that can be mounted from the network)
The File Sharing application can also be invoked from the CDE Application Manager from the following categories:
