all 777 permission is there and i created default user.

%createuser smart
%passwd smart
%smbpasswd smart

Please help

You will probably need to post your smb.conf file. Posting the global and the share definition should be enough.

If this is for a home network, and anyone can access it, you might try using the "Force User" and "Force Group" options. Then someone connecting will get a username/password box initially but it won't matter what they enter.
See the "Samba 3 by Example" book for details. You may have a samba-doc package that has the book, or it may be installed with the samba package. You can also download it from the Samba.org website.

The "Samba 3 Reference & Howto" book also has a trouble shooting section that might help.

Also check the samba logs. They may indicate what the exact problem is.

Make sure that you have added the users for Samba as well. If you haven't you won't be able to browse the shares. The users in Samba will need to mirror the users in Windows (name, password) on the machines that they will be using. Take a look at that and then repost if needed.

The problem I have encountered is a very annoying. Which Internet experts hope to help us solve this problem.
