 Hi Rowland,
Made some changes as shown below:
[global]        log file = %S.log        log level = 3        workgroup = WORKGROUP        security = user        passdb backend = tdbsam        printing = cups        printcap name = cups        load printers = yes        cups options = raw        lanman auth = no        ntlm auth = yes
[Anonymous]        comment = anonymous file share        path = /samba/anonymous_shared_directory        browseable = yes        writable = yes        guest ok = yes        read only = yes
[homes]        comment = Home Directories        valid users = %S, %D%w%S        browseable = No        read only = No        inherit acls = Yes
[printers]        comment = All Printers        path = /var/tmp        printable = Yes        create mask = 0600        browseable = No
[print$]        comment = Printer Drivers        path = /var/lib/samba/drivers        write list = @printadmin root        force group = @printadmin        create mask = 0664        directory mask = 0775
[sambashare]        comment = Samba on Server        path = /home/root/sambashare        available = yes        valid users = root        read only = no        browseable = yes        writable = yes
Then I tried to map to the server as shown below:


Still getting the same error.
Kind regards,
Gerard

Now that is interesting, you have a share that you obviously want to be 
a 'guest' share, but you haven't set 'map to guest = bad user' in 
[global], so it will never be used. You also do not need the 'force 
user' line in the share, the 'guest only' line does the same thing.
