I have a Red Hat 8.0 machine that is running Apache and Samba. I have a Windows 2000 box that running IIS 5.0 and SurfStats Live. SurfStats basically reads access logs and creates a visual report. Both computers are in the same workgroup and on the same subnet. I can connect to my share on the Samba server however I am always prompted for a password. The purpose of the Samba share is so SurfStats can access the Apache access_log. I have the global parameter set to guest ok=yes and guest account=nobody. Are there any suggestions on how I can avoid password requests?

I have tried the above recommendation with no luck. I have also tried to change the type of security from user to server with the computer that tries to connect as the password server. I am able at this point to not enter a password to access the share. I need to not be prompted for a password.
