Guest access not working under moodle 2.2

I am currently having guest login issues where moodle reports - Invalid login, please try again.

I found a post that suggested setting the mnethostid to 0, other users have 3, but that didn't work.

I tried setting the guest user's password to a known password from another user and that didn't work.

Under - My home/ ► Site administration/ ► Plugins/ ► Enrolments/ ► Guest access

Require Guest Access Password is unchecked
Use Password Policy is unchecked
Show Hint is checked
Add instance to new courses is checked
Allow Guest Access is Yes and the check box is also checked

 My home/ ► Site administration/ ► Plugins/ ► Enrolments/ ► Manage enrol plugins/ Guest access has the eye open.

Under My home/ ► Site administration/ ► Plugins/ ► Authentication/ ► Manage authentication Guest Login button is show

My home/ ► Site administration/ ► Server/ ► Cleanup

Log guest access is set.

Under My home/ ► Site administration/ ► Users/ ► Permissions/ ► User policies

Automatically login in as guest is checked

What else could be wrong here?

Nobody else having this sort of issue? Hmm, guess I'll file a bug report.

I tried everything I could find in the forums too (change mnethostid to 0, reset guest password from salt in config.php, ensure guest autlogin checked) and still cannot login to the site as a guest. Using Moodle 2.3.2.
