There is a much simpler solution and explanation.
knoppix has only samba client by default meaing you can access shares but since you're not a server, no one can access yours. To do this you'd need to install samba from debian repos but be careful about version conflicts with existing samba software.
So to access other shares simply do:
sudo mkdir /mnt/ANY-NAME
then, whenever you need to access (optionally make a script):
1. sudo mount -t smbfs -o uid=knoppix,workgroup=YOUR-WORKGROUP-NAME,username=YOUR-USERNAME,password=YOUR-PASSWORD //192.168.1.3/ANY-NAME /mnt/ANY-NAME
2. in pcmanfm navigate to /mnt/ANY-NAME (and optionally drag it to the left bookmark pane for future access)
3. see? easy.
and to unmount do (if you really want to):
sudo umount /mnt/ANY-NAME
Footnotes:
1. Caps are to be replaced by your data
2. If you have spaces in your data, enclose in quotes like this: "ANY-NAME"
3. //192.168.1.3/ANY-NAME can also be targeted with //COMPUTER-NAME/ANY-NAME

Ah, cough-cough... The thread is "How to Start a Samba Server in Knoppix 6" NOT "How to Access a Samba Server in Knoppix 6"
Older versions of Knoppix came with a Samba server installed, not so for the new version, thus my valid, meaningful and helpful post on how to install and run a Samba server from Knoppix 6.
Not sure where a post about how to access a Samba server from Knoppix 6 should go - but certainly not here.
