I am trying to mount a hard-disk connected to my WDTV Live box. The following command

smbclient -L 192.168.1.2 -U guest

gives the following output:

Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.1]

    Sharename       Type      Comment
    ---------       ----      -------
    Expansion_Drive Disk      Expansion_Drive
    MICROVAULT      Disk      MICROVAULT
    IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (WDTV LIVE)
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.1]

    Server               Comment
    ---------            -------
    WDTVLIVE             WDTV LIVE

    Workgroup            Master
    ---------            -------
    WORKGROUP            

But if I try

sudo smbmount //WDTVLIVE/Expansion_Drive /home/ashish/wdtvlive/ -o guest,rw

I get the following:

Warning: mapping 'guest' to 'guest,sec=none'
mount error(110): Connection timed out
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

I am able to browse and mount through Nautilus as well, but I dont want the drive to be mounted at gvfs.
