Samba with no passwords

Just starting to experiment with samba to reach files that are on my
wife's WinXP machine accross the room. Works OK for file access using
the sample smb.conf file provided by gentoo (only modified to add my
workgroup), except for the nitpick described below.
When I mount a directory with
mount -t smbfs //ipaddress/Collins /mnt/samba
I get a couple of informative messages that I haven't supplied a
user/password. Prompt for passwd follows. I just hit enter, and all is
cool.
Is there any way to cause the mount not to prompt for a passwd? Hint, I
have no defined users and do not log in to the WinXP box.
Flames anticipated, security, etc., etc., but this is only on my
internal net behind the router.
