[SOLVED] more Samba
Trying to open access share in a Controlled network environment (my house, all wired computers) without having to provide a user name or password.
Everytime I try to access the Samba share from windows it requires a a log in. Not only that but it provides "sharename/GUEST" as the name and greys it out and only allows a password to be typed in.. needless to say, no password I provide fits the bill.
smb.conf follows
[global]
netbios name = Sharename
workgroup = WKGNAME
security = share
[Musicz]
path = /folderpath
available = yes
browseable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = yes
public = yes
writeable = yes
guest only = yes
force user = nobody
force group = nogroup
I have tried it with and w/o the force user/group tags and still receive a log in box. neither apparmor or iptables are running on the linux box. I have chmod 777 to the share folder as well with same results.. anything else I'm missing?

Thanks for the link. Followed it to the tee. Still no go, same problem occuring.
I've checked smbclient -L servername.
It's all running correctly. And I can just hit enter when it asks for a pass, but still can't get windows to connect.
EDIT SOLVED*
Kind of silly, I had the path name going to a symlink... Windows or Samba didn't like that, I redirected to the actual folder and everything is just peachy.
