Starting a shared Windows folder automatically

Hi! I'm relatively new to Arch.
While I was using Ubuntu, the windows shared folders appeared automatically in startup. But I can't configure it in Arch, even when I'm already logged with my single user account, I can't mount a shared connection, even with samba.
I've tried to find out CIFS, but with pacman I could find nothing. And I've tried a lots of commands, but I can't do it, as I previously said, with my single user account.
I've checked out already: my windows connection appears to me when I type 'arp'. I'm using a DHCP shared connection for internet service (the internet 'server' is running windows - I'm sharing the connection with a RJ-45 crossover cable).

Does anyone knows how to setup the connection automatically or how to do it manually?
Thanks a lot! I've been looking for this information but I could find nowhere.
