samba - May 2006 - How to access a 'guest ok' share from Windows without password?

I have a Slackware Linux box called Tillie with three shares.
All at /, user at /home/user and public at /public which is "guest ok"
for access without a password.

The problem is that Tillie shows up in Windows Network Neighborhood as a 
single icon.  To open that icon and see the three shares Windows demands 
a password, thus making it impossible to access.

Is there any way to get around this?

Is the security parameter in your smb.conf file set the 'share'?  If
not,
try to post your smb.conf file.
