    More network/password problems

    Reacently my network system has become unstable. I have 2 windows xp computers connected to a Kubuntu 12.4 machine via wired ethernet. One time the XP computers cannot access and annother time the kubuntu can't access, and then sometimes nether can access. Currently the windows machines are accessing the kubuntu machine, But the Kubuntu machine isn,t. When I go to Dolphin>Network>Samba Share>Workgroup I am asked for a password to access the workgroup. I have never had a password here and never needed one before. I am attaching a copy of my smb.conf.

    Code:
    [Global]
        workgroup = mshome
        server string = %h server (Samba, Kubuntu)
        security = share
        wins support = yes
        map to guest = Bad User
        guest ok = yes
        guest only = yes
        guest account = nobody
        name resolve order =   lmhosts host wins bcast
        null passwords = yes
        encrypt passwords = yes
        dns proxy = no
    
    [Security]
        admin users = jim
    
    [share]
        comment = Kubuntu File Server Share
        path = /srv/samba/share
        writeable = yes
        public = yes
        browseable = yes
        create mask = 0775
        directory mask = 0775
    
    
    [Primary HDD]
        comment = Primary HDD
        path = /home
        writeable = yes
        browseable = yes
        guest ok = yes
        create mode = 0766
        directory mask = 0766
    
    
    [Annex HDD]
        comment = Annex HDD
        path = /media/Annex HDD
        writeable = yes
        browseable = yes
        guest ok = yes
        create mask = 0766
        directory mask = 0766
    P.S. If there is a way to eliminate the use of passwords I am all for it.

    Solution

    Open System settings>Sharing
    Clear the Default user name and Default password, leave these spaces empty and close menu.

    I am no longer asked for authentication when using the network path: Dolphin>Network>Samba Shares>Workgorup
