- From the cifs README:

  guest         Although ignored by the kernel component, the mount.cifs
        mount helper will not prompt the user for a password
        if guest is specified on the mount options.  If no 
        password is specified a null password will be used. 

Have you tried the following command line:

mount -t cifs //10.0.2.10/test1 /mnt/intern -o user="Steven Scholz",guest
