so run a non-anonymous ftp server and have them authenticate
I realize you want to do it without installing client software, but you can do that via ftp and skip all the SMB jive

I DO NOT want to install OpenVPN. I DO NOT want to run WinSCP. I DO NOT want to run an anonymous FTP server.
I want to go:
Start Run smb://IP_ADDRESS/sharename (username) (password) POOF.
That is what I want. Period. It's not unreasonable; this is Samba, not some Win95 box waiting to be h4x0red.

Dude -- Your arrogant attitude towards getting help and resolving your problem is not getting you anywhere -- its obviously problematic to pump SMB/CIFS into the internet the way you would like to. Why don't you look at a simpler solution like running an anonymous ftp server and then your pathetic windoze users can just type:
ftp://server/directory
POOF
Please read my points on this sort of "solution" in the past. The whole REASON I want to use Plain Vanilla SMB is so I can walk up to ANY Windoze machine on the entire flippin' Internet and go:
Start Run \\IP_ADDRESS\sharename (username) (password)
POOF.
