How can I change the Guest account to have no password? It seems that that may be causing some of my other problems.

Best practice normally has the Guest account disabled. Enabling without password would open a bit of a security hole as it is a known account and any attacker would likely try the account without passowrd.

Can you expain the issue so users might be able to offer more assistance?

Yes. It seems that it might be related to not being able to turn off password protected sharing. I have a bounty on the question with my sharing issues here. – soandos Jul 11 '11 at 21:08
