You need to put something after the IP address (or hostname) so you'd 
possibly put in a command like...

mount -t smbfs -o username=me,password=mine //192.168.0.1/share /mnt/point

Saying that, if the connection is timing out, it's possibly there might 
be something blocking it on the server (Firewall perhaps?).
