Trying to set up a public samba share on my server. I've done this more than once before and never had any trouble like this.
Here is my smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
security = user
map to guest = Bad User
[media share]
path = /mnt/media
read only = no
writeable = yes
smbd and nmbd is on
Using windows as client.
The hostname shows up in the network discovery page on windows. When I click it it prompts for credentials.
Typing in the adress manually same deal.
Tried in on a OSX machine as well but same issue.
This share acts as a private dropbox within the house to share files. Simplicity is key. Share discovery and just click is what I want for it.

Don't you have to configure the share with "allow guest", "guest ok" or somesuch?

But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

Not according to the wiki. But I have tried that as well.

from smb.conf (example):
[global]
server string = Samba Server
workgroup = something
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 1000
printcap name = /etc/printcap
name resolve order = bcast
security = USER
dns proxy = No
idmap config * : backend = tdb
[Media]
path = /path/to/Media
veto files = /.*/
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
guest ok = Yes
read only = No
might have to add yourself to sambashare group?
