Hello

First, i'm sorry for my english, i hope you can understand my question.

The last time i worked on Ubuntu Lucid, but i want to change to Kubuntu.
So i have tested Kubuntu, but my home-network does not works.

I have a Desktop PC with XP, folder are free to acces from network.
I have a Laptop with Ubuntu/Kubuntu.

So when i am in Ubuntu with Gnome i go to Network, i found my Windows PC, i click on it, i can see all shared folders and access without any password or username. That's what i want but

When i make the same in Kubuntu (not Ubuntu with installed KDE) i go to Network, i click on my PC, i can see any shared folders, but when i click on any folder i receive a popup to insert username and paswort. Why? I don't have any password on XP. When i don't fill in any and click ok, the popup comes again.

This is my problem. To check i have installed on the same Harddisk an older Version from Kubuntu (8.04) and in this i can access without any problem.

Can everybody help me? I tried to replace de smb.conf file from the older Kubuntu to the newer Kubuntu (10.04), nothin changes, i wrote in it guests= yes, nothing changes.

What can i doo? I want to use the last Kubuntu and not a older version, but its very necessairy that the homenetwork works without problems.

Thanks for answering me

Try entering "Guest" as the username with no password as the credentials.
