Installed UBUNTU-server 12.04 and configured /etc/samba/smb.conf as:

 #======================= Global Settings =======================

[global]
workgroup = HEMMA 
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
security = user

I have a network setup around a 4G router "HUAWEI B593" where some computers are connected by WIFI and others by LAN.

The server is connected by LAN.

On one computer running windows XP I can see the server but are not allowed to acces them.

On another computer on the WIFI-net running win7 I cannot see the server at all but I can ping the server and I can see the smb-protocoll is running when sniffing with wireshark.

I don't primarily want to use passwords, computers on the lan and wifi should be able to connect without any login-procedure.

I'm sure my config is not sufficient but have hard to understand how I should do. Theres a lot of descriptions on the net but most is old and none have been of any help.

I'm also confused by the fact that I can not se the sever on my win7-machine even though it communicates with the samba-server.

Would be very happy if anyone could spread some light over this mess.
