set public permission so anyone from your LAN can access that
server share folder w/o entering user/pass

here is the sample

root@noc:/# mkdir /home/pubshare
root@noc:/# chmod 777 /home/pubshare/

edit your smb.conf
-----------
[PUBSHARE]
comment = Public Share
path = /home/pubshare
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
----------

restart your samba then u are done
