No question is a stupid question if you don't know the answer.  You have
to start somewhere, right?  In the case of *nix, there is probably a man
page or two that will give you the answer, but only after a few readings
of it.  You may want to check out http://rute.sourceforge.net for a
great Linux tutorial.  In the meantime:

Edit /etc/fstab to add the following line:

//[servername]/[mountpoint]               /mnt/[mountdirectory]	smbfs  
noauto,rw,username=[username] 0 0

It is never a good idea to store your password in this file, as it is
world-readable by default.  When you want to mount the share type:

# mount /mnt/[mountdirectory]

and you'll be prompted for [username]'s password.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux!

Cheers,
