Samba Server Not Working

THIS HAS BEEN SOLVED. PLEASE IGNORE THIS POST, OR INFORM ME HOW TO DELETE IT.

thanks.

So I set up a Samba server today, and I thought I had done everything correctly, but I cannot connect to it .

[guest@pluto ~]$ smbclient -L localhost
Enter guest's password: 
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

[guest@pluto ~]$ smbclient -L localhost -U%
Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.7]

	Sharename       Type      Comment
	---------       ----      -------
	IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Samba Server)
	Hidden-Color Printer   Color Printer
	Hidden-Grayscale Printer   B/W Printer
Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.7]

	Server               Comment
	---------            -------
	PLUTO                Samba Server

	Workgroup            Master
	---------            -------
	PROTECTED           CACAO
	MYGROUP              PLUTO
	WORKGROUP            ZENO

To setup all I did was:

pacman -S samba
cp /etc/samba/smb.conf.default /etc/samba/smb.conf
;Added samba to startup deamons in rc.conf
rc.d start samba
pdbedit -a -u guest
reboot
smbpasswd -e guest

From another machine running windows it finds my opens a dialog box when I set the path to \\<SERVER-IP>\
but then I cannot use any credentials to log on.
