Vittorio,

This works on my network with win NT/2k/2k3/XP machines and we do not get
prompted for username/password.  The "allow hosts" portion is not required,
I just needed to limit the share a bit.  This host is running "FreeBSD
4.10-STABLE" and samba "2.2.12" so it is a little old but it functions very
well.

[global]
    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
    dns proxy = No
    netbios name = SMBSERVER1
    server string = Samba Server
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY
    workgroup = OFFICE
    os level = 20
    security = share
    preferred master = no
    max log size = 50

[Public Share]
    guest account = guest
    writeable = yes
    public = yes
    guest only = yes
    path = /data/shared/public
    allow hosts = 192.168.1.3 192.168.128.6 192.168.128.35 192.168.128.60
192.168.64.60

Hope this helps,
Scott
