Hi, all I want to do is have easy access to my shares for my housemates, but I cannot figure out how to do it in Kubuntu. I don't care about security, I want to be able to share anything, not just what is in my /home directory and for anyone to be able to connect to it. In Ubuntu this was simple, I just added a user called guest to my OS and then clicked on a folder and clicked share, then all they had to do was go to my address, enter guest into the login and press enter and viola, all is good.
I have tried a tonne of combinations of things in Samba in Kubuntu but nothing seems to work. The best I got was folders coming up with "\\comp\folder The network name cannot be found" which I can't find a proper explanation of anywhere, or when I try to put guest as a user it won't accept username or password.
All the guides I have seen just show you how to setup access to the /home folder for specific users, rather then access to any shares for all users.
If someone knows how to do this or could point me to a website it would be greatly appreciated thanks.
