I tried things such "ubuntu" and "root" (with the password left out empty) and they don't seem to work.
I have found this, but I haven't tried it yet...
The shared drive as in the network shared drive on your Windows computer from within Linux?
You need to enter a username/password that is valid on the other computer.
Alternatively on the other computer you need to set Guest security permissions to "FULL" and make sure that on the sharing permissions page either "Allow users to change my network files" is checked or if you have advanced file sharing turned off, the Guest account also has permission.
[edit] If you mean access a drive you have shared via Samba on a Windows machine, replace your Samba configuration file with the following:
code:
[global]
netbios name = name_of_server
workgroup = WORKGROUP
security = share
encrypt passwords = yes
os level = 17
[myshare]
path = /
create mask = 0700
read only = no
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
Restart Samba and it should hopefully work then.
