I am using the same box to run Samba and run the smbclient.

I am trying to setup a directory on my Linux box that Windows users can 
put files in (overwrite too).
I want them to do it as guest and not have to login.
The share shows up:
# smbclient -L //JAMES
Password:
Domain=[JAMES] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.24]

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        dropbox         Disk
        IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Samba)
Domain=[JAMES] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.24]

        Server               Comment

        Workgroup            Master
