That might depend on the windows version.   I think older versions had
to use their netbios name where newer ones will work with the IP or a
dns name that might be different from their own netbios name.   But I
don't really know that much about windows quirks.   I think all of the
ones I currently access will take an IP.    Note that when the
sharename has a shell metacharacter like $ you need to keep it from
being expanded when you type it on the command line.  Enclosing the
whole \\host\share in single quotes will do it, or you can put a \ in
front of the $.  (Standard shell stuff...).  And you don't have to
double forward slashes which samba will accept, just the backslashes
which are processed by the shell.
