I just installed win 7 pro @home in order to be more compatible with my new @work environment. I am likewise having a problem with samba shares. The samba shares are on a C5.7 server and were readily available from the same machine running XP for the last couple of years.
The new w7pro install is on the same network as the previous XP install on that machine and in fact has the same IP address as the former XP os.
Now with the fresh install of w7pro I cannot see any of the samba shares from the w7pro machine. All of the googled solutions I have found so far have not worked. I have added a couple of entries to the smb.conf that were suggested and restarted smb but no joy.
Anyone have pointers that may get me going again?
Have you seen this: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7
In particular the registry on w7 needs modification in order to join.
I have numerous w7 machines in a couple of smb domains working as advertised.
Hope this helps.
