[Samba] guest ok = yes

[Roland Thompson]

It was html, sorry wont happen again.

Thanks for the advice but it still doesn't work. I've tried everything
that's been suggested, but still asks for a username and password

The client is XP if that makes any difference.
Do I have a allow access from my ip address?

Smb.conf


[global]
	netbios name = THOR
	workgroup = LANGHOLME
	server string = Samba 2.2.7a

	local master = yes
	os level = 99
	domain master = yes
	preferred master = yes

	encrypt passwords = yes
	security = guest 

	wins support = yes
#	guest account = ftp

[music]
	comment = Music Share
	path = /home/share/music
	browseable = yes
	read only = no
	guest ok = yes
	
#[public]
#	comment = Public Share
#	path = /home/share/public
#	browseable = yes
#	writeable = yes
#	create mode = 0777
#	directory mode = 0777
#	guest ok = yes
#	#public = yes
#	only guest = yes
#	force group = @guest
#	force user = guest

That wasn't html email was it? It just had extra lines.
Try putting:
guest account =  ftp
into global.
For a real thrill, try:
guest account = root
