I want to access a folder on my new Ubuntu 12.10 box from any machine on my network without the need to provide credentials.

My machine name is Ubuntu1

I have a 2TB disk that formatted NTFS that has media on it

The mount point is mount1

I have numerous folders on the disk and I want to share each of them individually

I have enabled folder1 and folder2 for sharing

I have enabled shared access, Allow others to create and delete files in this folder and guest access is allowed.

The folder icon now has arrows so I assume all is good.

From windows I can see under network

Ubuntu1>folder1 Ubuntu1>folder2

When I click to open the folder from windows I get the error "You cannot access \Ubuntu1\folder1

You do not have permission to access \Ubuntu1\folder1

I have them both on the same workgroup.

Your assistance would be appreciated
