Samba and Passwords

I'm a bit stuck here.  I'm trying to get Samba to share two drives and
my home folder.

At first it wasn't even on my workgroup (MILLER) however I managed to
find a quickfix to that my putting workgroup = MILLER in smb.conf.
However, I've got a new problem.

I can't find a way to make it so that the Windows machines in the
house can read and write to the shares without needing a password.  I
tried putting "everybody" in the valid users field, however, that
didn't work.  Windows still displays a username/password prompt.  Even
if I put lsauron (my user name) and my password into the prompt, it
still rejects me.  I read through man:/smb.conf(5), however, I didn't
find anything there that helped.

If anyone has any pointers, tips, howtos, or any other manner of
media, I'd really appreciate it.

Attached is a copy of my smb.conf in case some of you are wondering
how I could have gotten this situation I'm experiencing.
