Cifs I can't get it to work

First question is do I even need Cifs?  What does it provide in combo with samba?
Anyway, I can't get cifs to mount, I must be doing a hundred things wrong.
my testparm is:

testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[public]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

# Global parameters
[global]
	server string = Samba Server
	security = USER
	log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
	max log size = 50
	name resolve order = bcast host
	printcap name = /etc/printcap
	dns proxy = No
	usershare allow guests = Yes
	usershare max shares = 100
	usershare path = /media/Share
	idmap config * : backend = tdb
	create mask = 0664
	force create mode = 0664
	directory mask = 0775
	force directory mode = 0775


[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	printable = Yes
	print ok = Yes
	browseable = No


[public]
	path = /media/Samba
	read only = No
	guest only = Yes
	guest ok = Yes

How would I set cifs up? sharename? My wifi router doesn't permit static ips for devices, I know weird. 

I have:  mount -t cifs //rooster(i've noticed most people use an ip here, but my router doesn't give static ip's)/sharename?(Im not sure what this would be) /mnt/media/Share(It doesnt seem to like this location) -o user=username,password=password,workgroup=WORKGROUP,ip=192.168.0.*
Help would be greatly appreciated!
