Default mounting file systems

I have 2 linux machines. One has samba running and is basically my fileserver. From my windows box i can access the share fine and mount it as a network drive. How do i go about mounting the share on my linux machine? i have tried:
Code:
mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.55/share /mnt
where 192.168.0.55 is the address of the machine with samba running and share is the samba share that i am trying to access. I'm not too bothered how i do it, dont even need to use samba if there is another way, however i dont want to mount it permanently and want authentication - which as far as i could see was nonexistant in nfs.

thanks
