    Network sharing again and again I have to go through this

    Why this is ALWAYS so difficult I will never know, but...

    I have one Windows 7 machine, one Natty Narwhal laptop.
    I want to see the laptop from the Windows machine.
    I can see/view files etc, the Windows machine from the laptop!

    Here is my smb.conf : smb.conf.txt

    When I try to connect from Windows, it asks me for passwords, I dont want that! I want guest/unrestricted access.
    The prompt is "Enter Network Password to connect to :maggie"
    (Although I have tried entering hostname\username that is valid on the Ubuntu laptop, even this doesnt work!!!!)

    I try to connect via the hostname or ip.

    ANY HELP???

    I can TightVNC view the Ubuntu desktop from Windows. But I cannot seem to get Windows Remote Desktop Connection to connect to it?! But I dont care about that.
