You will need to configure samba give a name like "public". Then give it the appropriate permissions.

A very simple but unsecure script for samba First things first, copy your original smb.conf to your home directory ( this is Fedora core not sure if works for all Distro's) cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /home/<your username>/smb.conf.old then edit smb.conf with what I provided below # Global parameters [global] workgroup = <your workgroup name> netbios name = < the name that you call this server> server string = Samba Server %v log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 hosts allow = 192.168.1. /255.255.255.0 encrypt passwords = no smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd wins support = yes name resolve order = wins hosts lmhosts bcast [Public Folder] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/public guest ok =yes public = yes writable = yes printable = no Also make sure that samba is running /etc/init.d/smb start and if it is running then restart it /etc/init.d/smb restart and also make sure the firewall is configured to permit samba If this doesn't work for you then use google and this site for more information.
