Reason: code tags
Using the limited info you provided, your connection would be to the [share], so the connection syntax would be;
Code:
\\192.168..1.6\share
The version of win (XP vs 7 vs Vista) and the version of samba need to be known (2.x vs 3.x).
Are you configured to authenticate against the domain or local?
What's the security setting in samba?
What version of SMB are you wanting to run? (SMBv1 vs SMBv2)
etc.
