Evidently you have properly set up the Windows domain/workgroup in Samba, or I don't think you'd get this far.
You are probably trying to log into a drive that can only be accessed with a defined user account. These Windows shares are typically drive letters followed by a dollar sign, eg C$. For these, you must have a valid user account on the Windows system (or if both the Windows and Linux systems are part of a NT domain, a valid NT domain user account).
You have to set up public shares in Windows to be able to log in without username/password. In XP, right click on the drive you want to share, select properties/shares, and enable sharing in the appropriate box. (Exact procedure may vary between Windows versions.) Give it whatever share name you want, so long at it is not a drive letter plus dollar sign combination.
I have a SambaPDC set up and on the File server I need to authenticate as a domain member. Windows systems work fine. Until recently the only desktops we used were RH based and they all use nautilus. Nautilus asks for the Username, Domain, Password. Kongueror only asks for the Username and password. When this happens in windows Username: Domain\User1 Password: ******** works, but in Kongueror it doesn't. Nautilus works fine Suse except there is no simple/logical way for a standard user to browse the network. You have to open nautilus and click Go--> location and then enter smb://DOMAIN. For people fluent in networking this isn't a problem, but if they are coming from windows this will drive them nuts. Currently this is the only hold up in starting to deploy Suse as a desktop. I have another thread going which request help in getting nautilus to open links on the desktop. Currently it defaults to kongueror. If I can get nautilus to open links, then I can create a link to smb://DOMAIN and the user can browse the network and when they open a File Share it prompts them for the User, domain, password. This I can work with or at least I think the users can.
