I have a RH8 machine with samba/swat setup.

I want to have my windows housemates access some shares

currently they are able to see my system in the browse list but are
denied access when the double-click on my machine. (\\localhost is
not accessible, you might not have permission to access the network
resource)

As well whenever my machine becomes the master browse server for the
workgroup none of the other windows machines can access the workgroup.

I have setup for guest access to shares within samba, are there other
permission setups required?

Here is my samba.conf

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2003/12/27 20:51:36

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = HOME
        server string = Mattlinux
        security = USER
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        obey pam restrictions = Yes
        pam password change = Yes
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
        unix password sync = Yes
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        max log size = 0
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        load printers = No
        dns proxy = No
        wins support = Yes
        guest account = pc guest
        hosts allow = 192.168.2.
        printing = lprng

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        valid users = %S
        create mask = 0664
        directory mask = 0775
        guest ok = Yes

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No

[myshare]
        comment = Matts test share
        path = /home/share
        create mask = 0765
        guest ok = Yes
        hosts allow = 192.168.

We are behind a router that gives us address' in the 192.168.2.xxx range

Any help is appreciated
