by 'share' I mean a resource that is being shared, like directory or
file. Probably this is not correct. Share by means of samba protocol is
reflected by first segment of path (`share/' in my example).

Let's assume then, that there is some directory I want to enter:
like:
some.cifs.machine:/share/path/to/directory

while this one works:
bash-prompt$ smbclient //some.cifs.machine/share/path/to/directory -U john -W MyDomain

but putting tramp path in emacs:
/smb:some.cifs.machine:/share/path/to/directory

fails

Of course in both the cases I put correct password at password prompt
