LinuxQuestions.org - Samba - My Config has something wrong

I am runnig samba and can read from my server. I have all permissions set for 777 becasue this is a home server and I am not out of the net with it. For some reason I can only read but not write to the drive. here's my config.... any help is appreciated.

# Samba config file created using SWAT
