Maybe they allow access to anyone ...

I think you need to escape the $, but I could be wrong. Something like:
//aisdept.ais.msu.edu/myuserID\$ /temp

Try the workgroup option.
	mount -t smbfs -o username=myuserID,workgroup=ais_nt ...
I don't think smbmount accepts ais_nt\myuserID syntax, setting the 
workgroup should be the same.

myuserID is your "MSU Net ID"?

Does it help if you (for testing purposes) give the password on the 
commandline and not at the prompt?
