I am trying to set up a website from my ubuntu machine through IIS of windows server 2003. I am sharing the folder I want to store the files in across the network and all the computers are seeing it find.
The question is, how do I do this so it does not require a password to connect to it or give windows the permission without having to put them in every time.
I can get to my website, but it is asking for username and pass... I need that gone.
Well what does your configuration look like? If you're proxying something through IIS, then how IIS is configured is none of the Linux servers business. Nothing will ask for any form of authentication within Apache by default, so you must've enabled something somewhere. More information please.
While not tested this would be my best guess. While perhaps not the most efficient it would be the least complicated method. Locate the IIS windows user account for each website and reset the password to a known password. Then on the Linux server create the same user names with the same passwords as set on the IIS service.
okay, so that I got it to work now. BUT it is now requiring a username and password from everyone... Othewise, IIS sees it okay now. Any solution to the User and password problem?

From your description is sounds like you have made it past the first security layer. If that is true then you would need to check the file permissions on the Linux server. You will want to check Samba to see what user name it is running under, then check what group that user is assigned to. Then change the group ownership of all files and directories to that group and give it read access.
