[ale] Accessing Windows Share

So I did

mount -t smbfs //Computer/Share /myshare

where Computer is the windows box name and Share is the shared folder
name. I get the following error...

mount: mount point /myshare does not exist

I also tried 

smbclient -L Computer

and I got the desired result (It listed all shared files and resources).
I even checked the list to verify that the folder Share exists and is
being shared.

Is there something else I am missing?

Thanks,
Arafat Mohamed
