It sounds like you already have samba set up, so you can use smbmount on
the laptop to mount the shared resource supplied by samba on the server.
You can call smbmount indirectly using the smbfs file type in your mount
statement:
prompt# mount -t smbfs -o password=xxxxxx[,username=yyyyy] //host/resource
/your/mountpoint
Of course, as already mentioned you can also set up NFS.
