I wonder how relevant that still is. Seems like a several of the comments are from people who are trying to connect to consumer hardware devices (Squeezebox, Synology NAS, etc.) that is running Samba and thus probably a really old and out of date version of it.<br /><br /> I've never had any such problems with Windows 7 accessing Samba shares on my server running Ubuntu 12.04, or vice-versa for that matter.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40349.20&return_msg=40349.18" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40349.20"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40349_21"></a><div class="message" id="message_40349_21"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">24 Feb 2013 11:53</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Matt <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 24 Feb 2013 11:53"></span></span> <span class="message_count">21 of 23</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40349.21">40349.21</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40349.18#a40349_20" target="_self">40349.20</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I dunno, but it's the most plausible explanation I've seen thus far.
