cd $sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf and set interfaces to lo and your local network interface. In my case: eth1 . interfaces = lo eth1 bind interfaces only = true Now, it is time to smoothen samba default security by changing the security variable: security and make sure it is set to share instead of user and that guest account is enabled: security = share ... ... guest account = nobody Now, we can create a share to be accessible to guest users: [Guest Share] comment = Guest access share path = /path/to/dir/to/share browseable = yes read only = yes guest ok = yes You can now test that your configuration is good using testparm : $ testparm If everything is fine, it is time to reload samba service to have your new configuration taken into account: $sudo /etc/init.d/samba reload http://www.debuntu.org/samba-how-to-share-files-for-your-lan-without-userpassword/

Systembackup by integr8e As a result of many reinstallations, I've begun developing a method that quickly allows me to restore my new installation to the setup of my old one.
