Samba - The bane of my existence (smb.conf)

Right now, im just trying to get my Linux box to ACCESS a "share" on my
WD N750 Router. I have 2 SSD's attached to the USB ports on it. Win
systems see them no problem.
Smbk4 is asking for passwords. i put in the username and password I use
for MY root access.... it ignores it.
This while in the Smb4K app.
Adding a account? the device has no account.... it is setup as a
public share.
Again, let me remind everyone. I AM CLUELESS.... Please do not make
assumptions that I know something that to all of you is fundamental
regarding this..... if I did, I probably wouldn't need help.
SO FAR: I THINK what you folks are saying is that I have to
authenticate in MY machine. The concept here eludes me.
Is this how it works:
Machine A (Linux box)
Machine B Router serving SSD shares
Smb4K Sees shares
Samba requires authentication LOCAL in MY machine to access Samba "Universe"
