look in
/etc/samba/smb.conf (for mandrake distro)

read the file and change what needs to be changed. You need to be root to do so.

typ in console:
su
than your password

typ in console:
kwrite /etc/samba/smb.conf

kwrite is a text editor, if you want to use anotherone you can do so.

luck.

try putting "public = yes" in the share section.

Being root type following:

smbpasswd -a user

user are you of course, so you can add a valid user and valid password.
