samba woes help please?


just made a gento fileserver for all my files
the only thing i have installed on it is samba and that sucker is in the closet
well i had everything working well till i decided to screw with the smb.conf file again and now i am having some problems

i need it so that all my shares are accessible to windows users on my network WITHOUT user name and password and just one of them to require a username and passwd

well heres the problem
i can see the shares in windows and when i click on on it says cant access resorce or something on that line . BUT when i click on the share that you have to type a user and pass then it asks me to type it . so i do, both user and pass and i have read and write access to that share and THEN all the other shares work fine with the read only access

so i need it so that regular users on my network can see the shares with out having to type anything

heres my smb.conf
can anyone tell me what i did wrong, need to add, delete, help?

Code:
[global]
       workgroup = MSHOME
       server string =
       security = user
        map to guest = Bad User

       os level = 255
       dns proxy = No
       hosts allow = 192.168., 127.
      preferred master = yes
        local master = yes
[Drives]
        comment = all drives root
        path = /mnt
        read only = no
        guest ok = no
        #browseable = yes
[Music-Videos]
        comment = Music Videos
        path = /mnt/200/Music Videos/
        guest ok = yes
        read only = yes
[Games]
        comment = My Games
        path = /mnt/200/Games
        read only = yes
        guest ok = yes
[T.V. Episodes]
        comment = T.V. Episodes
        path = /mnt/200/T.V. Episodes/
        read only = yes
        guest ok = yes
[Applications]
        Comment = Applications
        path = /mnt/250/Applications
        read only = yes
        guest ok = yes
[Music]
        comment = Music
        path = /mnt/250/Music
        read only = yes
        guest ok = yes

        comment = Upload anything here
        path = /mnt/250/Upload
        read only = no
        guest ok = yes

If I was you, I'd save a copy of your current smb.confg and then restart with the default one. Get the default one working and after that start tweaking it with your other shared folders.
