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.
P.S. If there is a way to eliminate the use of passwords I am all for it.
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
