[global]
   workgroup = SAMBA
   security = SHARE

[public]
   comment = Public Stuff
   path = c:/shares
   public = yes
   writable = yes
   guest ok = yes



If that is OK, then how to I connect to this share on a Windows system?
ie. how do I address it?  


The Samba server is 192.168.0.17 and I have created a hosts file on the 
Windows machine which has 

192.168.0.17     server

Should I be able to connect connect using 

\\server\public

or even

\\192.168.0.17\public
