I need to add a 3rd Ubuntu PC to an existing share. I am stuck and need some help please
 
Existing Share from where?

How did you add the other two? It should be the exact same.
 
I had help previously, now emigrated .... he did ... not me.

He did something clever with samba
 
If I understand correctly you want to access a shared drive from Ubuntu?

If you have samba installed you should be able to mount as such:

Code: 
smbclient -U user -L 192.168.1.5 (replace IP with your share IP).

Enter Samba\user's password.

Code: 
sudo mkdir mnt/yourhsarename

mount -t cifs -o username=user //192.168.1.5/sharefolder mnt/yoursharename

To persistently mount you will have to modify the fstab

Code: 
//192.168.1.5/sharefolder /mnt/yoursharename cifs username=user,password=password,_netdev 0 0

Alternatively, you can create a credentials file to store the login credentials.
