First of all, you have to copy the Win32NetBIOS.dll to your windows system32 folder.

Secondly, you must check if the CIFS is enabled (file-servers.xml file in WEB-INF\classes\alfresco or in the extensions folder)
You should have a section like this:

[size=75]   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="CIFS Server">
     <serverEnable enabled="true"/>
      <host name="${localname}_A"/>
      <comment>Alfresco CIFS Server</comment>

      <!– Set to the broadcast mask for the subnet –>
      <broadcast>255.255.255.255</broadcast>

      <!– Use Java socket based NetBIOS over TCP/IP and native SMB on linux –>
      <tcpipSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
      <netBIOSSMB platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>

      <!– Can be mapped to non-privileged ports, then use firewall rules to forward
          requests from the standard ports –>
     <!–      
      <tcpipSMB port="1445" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
      <netBIOSSMB sessionPort="1139" namePort="1137" datagramPort="1138" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
     –>
      
      <hostAnnounce interval="5"/>

      <!– Use Win32 NetBIOS interface on Windows –>
      <Win32NetBIOS/>
      <Win32Announce interval="5"/>

<!–
      <WINS>
         <primary>1.2.3.4</primary>
         <secondary>5.6.7.8</secondary>
      </WINS>
–>
      <sessionDebug flags="Negotiate,Socket"/>
   </config>[/size]


By default, the CIFS is thus available at the network address \\{computername}_A. Try this in windows explorer first before you try it via the browser.
This is however limited to 16 characters so if your computer name exceeds 14 characters, it is possible that characters at the end are omitted.

If you are not yet logged in to the CIFS drive, then the 'View in CIFS' funcationality in the browser does not work. It does not have the right credentials and it does not ask the credentials so the user does not get authenticated. This is a bug I suppose…
