If you've not changed it (based on reading I doubt you have) the domain

You username/password for your Ubuntu shares will be whatever user you
assigned to the shares in the smb.conf file (the "valid users = timmy
johnny" line), I have no idea how any of the graphical tools do this if
you've set it to "guest ok = yes" then you can just login with the Guest
user account (no password, username Guest I seem to recall... though
there might be a "Sign in as guest" button. There is on OS X)
For your Windows shares, it'll be the username/password of the person
who owns the share. So to connect to my Win7 shares I user the username
"matt" and my windows password as the password.
Hope that helps you a bit further along the track.

Oh, and as well as the terminal command, we also worked out the ufw
firewall was stopping this machine from being seen. Even with new rules
I added it still wouldnt work, I didnt even know I had a firewall turned
on. ufw has now been stopped. I know nothing about Ubuntu firewalls, and
couldnt even guess what I would need to do to fix the problem I am going
to habve not use it. Until I can find somebody that can get it to work.
