Hi there --

One of our servers is running Samba 3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1 on a CentOS 5.3 32-bit distribution. The server has several shares that are accessible via a known user account.

A workstation running Windows 7 has been unable to access one of the shares of the server. When prompted for the username and password, the appropriate information is entered, but the share is never successfully mounted on the Windows system.

Someone i new had similar problem to this, it was not the fault of the samba server, but with the win7 machine, they had to modify something in the registry to get it to talk to the samba server, maybe try googling for a registry tweak.

I also had that problem.
