access samba share from a win7 client

fcuk112 · 2010-06-04 21:00:55

i am trying to connect to my samba share on the network from a win7 PC. my arch samba config looks as follows:
http://pastie.org/992386.

I tried degrading my Windows 7 by going into Local Security Policy and changing LAN Manager authentication level as well disabled 128-bit encryption for "minimum session security for NTLM SSP", but i still cannot connect to my samba share. I also removed the credential from Credential Manager. Mind you, I did not reboot Win7 after making those changes nor did I restart any services - not sure if that is required.

Is this a config issue?

Thanks!

For testing purposes, try

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = wicked yo
netbios name = bigbro
security = share
; the line below is important! If you have permission issues make
; sure the user here is the same as the user of the folder you
; want to share
guest account = franky
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
name resolve order = hosts wins bcast
wins support = no
[videos]
   path = /media/Videos
   available = yes
   browsable = yes
   public = yes
   writable = yes

[pictures]
   path = /home/franky/Pictures
   available = yes
   browsable = yes
   public = yes
   writable = yes

[music]
   path = /home/franky/Music
   available = yes
   browsable = yes
   public = yes
   writable = yes

[torrents]
   path = /home/franky/Torrents
   available = yes
   browsable = yes
   public = yes
   writable = yes

Also, disable password enabled sharing in Windows 7. If it works, you can go from there to get password sharing again.

It's not that you've changed workgroup name on the Windows client and thus those shares aren't recognized as belonging to the same network?
