Don't give either -- if you give one you must give
both.

Ok, user CAN authenticate and use resources, but
in the previous one you didn't prove the user could
or could not do that by default (with CURRENT
logon credentials.)

Could you access it? Dir, Copy con m:\t.txt, etc. ?

Browsing is a SEPARATE issue (NetBIOS, maybe
even WINS servers and clients) from authentication.

Doesn't matter anyway if you give the username the
way I shows you DomainName\Username

This refers ONLY to a domain account.

If it is "seeing shares" then tell me if these are true:

    All machines are domain members OR use same workgroup name

    All machines are on SAME subnet OR you have a WINS server

    (If you have WINS server):
        All machines, including SERVERS are WINS clients

Separate "See" as in browse from Authenticate.

They are unrelated.
