You can enable the guest account to allow users unauthenticated access to
shares on a computer. Then ANY user can access ANY share that has
permissions for the share and folder [ntfs] for the everyone group as long
as anonymous is configured to be part of the everyone group. If it still
does not work check the user right for access this computer from the network
in Local Security Policy [secpol.msc] to make sure the everyone group is
included. Of course make sure your firewall protects your network from
internet users gaining access to that or any computer on you network. ---
