Sorry but you've not explained your problem very well.

If you're having trouble getting stuff from a Windows Share to an Ubuntu machine, have you installed samba?

sudo apt-get install samba

Are all your machines within the same subnet? Are the addresses all reachable with ping? What happens when you open a file browser and type \\IPADDRESS\ ? Can you get to the machine in question?

You don't have to configure a samba server just to view shares on Windows computers.

The error "UNABLE TO MOUNT LOCATION - Failed to retrieve share list from server" is almost always related to a firewall problem either on the Ubuntu comptuer or on the Windows machine.
