For home networks, I usually wimp out on the security and use security=SHARE in the server-side setup. I use swat for configuration, BTW, it has nice builtin help and makes it easier to do most things without being an expert -- or when you have forgotten 95% of what you used-to-[think-you]-kn[oe]w ;-) Don't forget to make sure browseable=yes available=yes are set. They should be defaults, but I like to check -- especially when debugging. The above is for samba on desktops. On Windows boxes, I just use no passwords on the "share" (can't remember the details). For laptops, I prefer *not* to run samba server, but if I did, I would probably use security=USER. (Don't remember details for Windows boxes ==> Others probably have more advice, esp. regarding security setup.
