It sounds like you have credentials to lock down your network share, but are trying to use guest access. The steps below specify how to add credentials.
sudo apt install cifs-utils
sudo vim /etc/fstab
Added this line
//192.168.1.3/library /media/library cifs credentials=/home/chris/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8 0 0
vim /home/chris/.smbcredentials
username=chris
password=mySMBpassword
save
sudo mkdir -p /media/library
sudo mount -a
Thanks for your help. Greatly appreciated. I was finely able to connect to the share using your information. Now the fun begins, organizing a library.
