Either do it by hand, each time you boot the machine, via:
mount -t smbfs -o (options) \\smbserver\share /mnt/point

or put a line in /etc/fstab like:
\\smbserver\share       /mnt/point      smbfs (options) 0 0

with (options) replaced by the mount options, generally workgroup=$WG,guest(if 
no password) or passwordd= (be aware it will be in the open this way)
