I have no trouble connecting.  I connect the "standard" way to my wife's
Windows box:
mount -t smbfs //joyousguard/m /mnt/m -o username=XXXXXXXX,password=YyyYY
Just for "fun" I installed CoreFTP Lite on my laptop, which is a free ftp
program for Windows machines.  It also does file transfers thru SSH.  So I
connected using it to my computer at home.  I transferred one 125 byte text
file from my home machine just fine.  I then tried a 1.03 MB zip file. 
After a LONG time, it started to get a transfer rate of 0.3KB/sec.  My DSL
has an upload cap of 256 kbps which would translate into 25-30 KBps.  Any
idea on why the huge slowdown?  I don't think the SSH would add that much to
the equation.

For communications to MS systems, I use the "smbclient" command-line program

which seems to come with every Linux distro and hopefully has gotten
installed by default on your system. The syntax is:
smbclient //compname/x -U user
where "compname" is the name of the Windows system, x is the drive letter
and
user is the user login. At this point it prompts you for the password. Once
you're in, you can do a "?" for commands, which are pretty similar to those
in ftp. The main transfer commands are "put" and "get." It does the trick
for me.
