Windows 7 Anonymous Samba Share Access

[dmce]

Hi folks

Im running build 7022 (had issue with 7075 as well) and if i manually go to a samba share in explorer (\\server\share) it opens up fine. However if i map it, then reboot, its states cant connect and will then prompt me for a username and password (which it doesnt need)

Any help?

Save your credentials when mapping

• Remove the mapping if it is there.
• Reconnect to the share.
• Right click to map a network drive
• Click the check box "Use different credentials"
• Click Finish
• Enter your username and password that your share will recognize
• Click check box for "Remember my credentials"

Thanks for the answer, but the whole point was that the Samba share doesnt need a username and password at all.
