windows cant guest login to samba anymore
 
Hello, sorry the title should add "as guest"

I recently changed my workgroup name in samba and now my windows 7 pc`s cannot login as guest. Im not sure what happened because before there were no problems at all.

Here is my smb config(my main share is named server)

Code:

# smb.conf is the main  Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.
# Date: 2012-05-02

        guest ok = yes

I can login as a normal user with a password but it causes trouble on my media center pc because it never remembers the password.

Any ideas?

Also, my android tablet and phone can login without any trouble.

for me the security = ... option is missing. I would suggest you to set it explicitly and look at the documentation about authenticating a host. I think you need to add your windows pc to the workgroup again.

Thank you,

After adding security = user I am able to login as a guest.

Thank you very much.
