Because of the windows Pass through authentication, and guest on windows is disabled.. 

Result, authentication popup. 

map to guest = Bad User was the online setting which got it working for me. 

I really suggest we have a look at this again. 
Check the archlinux also for this one. 

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba/Tips_and_tricks 

see example Sample Passwordless configuration.
