Keith a lot of people have this same problem, its my single biggest issue ref ubuntu is the lack of a good frontend for samba.  Good news is that we are working on a nice network setup wizard for ubuntu. Bad news it’s a google summer of code candidate.

 

In the mean time:

 

Edit you smb.conf file to do the following:

 

there is a line in smb.conf that says security=user, change it to security=share and delete the ";" before it(if its there)

 

Then just refresh you smb.conf and restart samba

 

Enjoy!

 

 

I think this is the single biggest problem that ubuntu has, its not intuitive for everyday people to network with their windows network.
