Cannot access win 7 shares from debian wheezy with samba?


The samba is configured for share in debian wheezy with windows 7, the linux share /home/share is accessible from the windows 7, but cannot access the windows 7 share drive d from the debian wheezy , I could see the Windows 7 machine on the network, selecting the Win7 machine, it asks for user credential, I put the user credential of a user account created on the Win7 machine but cannot login and again window poping up.
I added the linux user and as well the windows user as linux user to the samba with the smbpasswd, this is the smb.conf:
Quote:
[global]
workgroup = HOME
security = share
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
dns proxy = No
unix charset = UTF-8

[Networking]
interfaces = eth1 lo 192.168.1.1
bind interfaces only = Yes

[Share]

path = /home/share
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
create mode = 0777
directory mode = 0777
share modes = yes

Your problem is in Win 7, not your samba server. Samba server is working, by your own post. Try googling 'Win 7 won't share with linux' that will turn up all kinds of issues with Win 7.

There was a bug in the W7 essencials and outlook if you have installed these they were preventing samba connections for some reason. I had to removed them after running in similar problem.
But you can google it your problem might be caused by something else.

Good luck to you
