can't mount to windows share folder using samba
 

i has successful install samba in my linux box and i can see my computer in windows pc but when i try to access to linux resource it will pop up a message box said resource is \\localhost\IPC$ and require me to enter password. why? I had not add any user in smbuser and how can i ignore this pop up message box and straight to my linux resource. :( :(

well u wil have to add a samba username plus a samba machine account. On the other hand the resource which you are trying to access should have appropriate permissions set.

You may be able to add "guest accounts" to your samba conf file and suppress the password.
