[Samba] guest ok = yes

[Owens, Bob]

Rolland I think you really need the map to guest from looking at your config
and make sure you can cd to your share with your pcguest unix account. I'm
guessing that your guest account does not have access to home and share.
Maybe move music to /music and give the permissions there. 

Just some stuff to try.

create a unix user called pcguest, use strict permissions (the default is
nobody in SAMBA)
create the samba password for pcguest 
create a directory public2 on /
$ su pcguest
$ cd /public2
$ exit
# want to make sure that pcguest has access to /public2


[global]
    guest account = pcguest
    map to guest = bad password

[public2]
   comment = Public2
   path = /public2
   browseable = yes
   writable = yes
   create mode = 0777
   directory mode = 0777
   ;guest = yes
   public = yes
   only guest = yes
   force group = @pcguest
   force user = pcguest

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
