Thanks for helping; this is what happend:

#smbmount //proserver/D /samba
proserver: unknown host
        The -I option may be useful
#smbclient -L "proserver"
        Got a positive name query response from 192.168.1.1
<snip>
#smbmount //proserver/D /samba -I 192.168.1.1
Password:

And it works !
If this is the normal way to work with smbmount, it might be usefull
to ask the ip number at setup.
Thanks again. Jef
