    You have to deny guest access to the shares.

    Care to explain why your question didn't fit into any of the forums like networking, Windows, applications or alternative OS?

    linux:

    mount -t smbfs //hostname/sharename$ /mnt/mountpoint -o username=username

    you are then prompted for password.

    Just use whatever you usually log in with.

    on windows

    start, run

    \\linuxmachinename\sambasharename

    username:

    linuxmachinename\accountname

    then password.

    you can specify hostname then \ then username (i.e linuxmachinename\accountname as above) to ensure that machine's useraccounts are used.

    Always turn off any zone alarm or anything when trying to test (except for external connections, of course.)
