Samba trouble with File Permissions

Latest response

I have a RedHat machine with Samba and would like my Windows 7 machine to access the share. The W7 machine can see the RHEL6 machine but cannot get past authentication to connect to the share.

1) /etc/samba/smb.conf configuration (this is all I did):

[global]

            workgroup = MYNETWORK

[SambaShare]

            path = /mnt/SambaShare

            writeable = yes

            browseable = yes

            read only = no

            guest ok = yes

            public = yes

            force user = somebody

2) User "somebody" was created at both the RedHat and Samba level

3) /mnt permissions:

drwxrwxrwx

4) /mnt/SambaShare permissions:

drwxrwxrwx

My W7 machine can see the RHEL6 machine. Using my Samba user password I am able to open the RHEL6 machine but not the specific SambShare folder so I could map the network drive. Clicking on the SambaShare folder does not even give me the option to authenticate. What am I missing? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
