writing to windows-smb shares

is it possible to write to a windows shared directory from a linux computer?
i've installed samba and lisa -> browsing, reading and writing from a windows computer on my linux computer works perfectly.
browsing and reading a windows-share from my linux computer (with konqueror) is possible too. But when i try to write to a windows share from my linux computer i allways get: "writing to smb not supported"

is there a possibility to write to windows-shares from a linux-machine?

thanks for your help!

Mount the share somehow. If your program (lisa?) supports it then use it to mount it, otherwise do something like:

mount -t smbfs //MACHINENAME/ShareName /mount/point

Might need a -o username=MyUserName in there after the smbfs.
