Mount Windows share as guest from command line

You need to add the version to the options depending on the cifs version you use. So that would be for v1.0:
sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,guest,vers=1.0 //192.168.1.1/Fab-EXT4 /media/MichelNAS/
There is also vers=2.0
and vers=3.0

So I'm at a friend and hooked up my external EXT4 HDD to his router and it recognises it and he can connect his entire family to it and everything works fine.
However, on my Ubuntu machine I can:
- Go to my File Manager (Nemo)
- File Connect to Server
and that works fine!
but I cannot:
sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.1/Fab-EXT4 /media/MichelNAS/ mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs' sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/Fab-EXT4 /media/MichelNAS/ Password for root@//192.168.1.1/Fab-EXT4: sudo mount -t cifs -o guest //192.168.1.1/Fab-EXT4 /media/MichelNAS/ mount error(112): Host is down Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/Fab-EXT4 -o user=,password= /media/MichelNAS/ mount error(112): Host is down Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,noperm,sec=none //192.168.1.1/Fab-EXT4 /media/MichelNAS/ mount error(112): Host is down Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
However:
smbclient --list=192.168.1.1 --no-pass
works perfectly and has as output:
WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated Domain=[HOME] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.24] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC IPC Service (mymodem Sharing Files) Fab-EXT4 Disk Share Fab-EXT4 directory Domain=[HOME] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.24] Server Comment --------- ------- MYMODEM mymodem Sharing Files Workgroup Master --------- ------- HOME
So I'm obviously missing something completely stupid here, but I'm stumped as to why I cannot mount this share from the command line???
