[Samba] I can't connect to a Samba resource

[J. L. Cabral]

Dear, changing the owner doesn't work for me.

So I decide to connect to the share resource without user
authentication, just see the resource for all the users from my
LAN....this is the simplest way I can see the samba resource I think.

How can I do this succesfully ??? Or in other words what is the
simplest way to share a resource to all the Windows desktops from a
given domain without user authentication, just for a start point ???

Thanks again,

JeLo
