I really do have to start checking email more frequently!  Your smb.conf
normally would not need changing if it worked, instead you would mount
manually with a command like:

mount -t cifs -o guest //192.168.1.100/share /path_to/mount

with of course the proper IP address inserted and the path.

in /etc/fstab, the relevant line would look something like:

//192.168.1.100/share   /path_to/mount noauto,users,rw,exec 0  0

If you wanted users to be able to mount said path but didn't want said
share always mounted.  Substitute auto for noauto if you want it
permanently mounted on startup.
