Home Premium Samba authentication failure
I've been trying for several months to solve this problem. I have a home office network with a Debian Linux server, which I'm using as a calendar/file/print server, two Linux laptops, one XP machine and one laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium, which came preinstalled on the laptop.
When I try to access the shares on the Debian machine, I keep getting authentication failures. I've tried my Windows username/password, my Linux username/password, and even created new users on both systems to try different solutions.
All the computers are able to print through the Debian server. However, file sharing using the Debian machine as a Samba server does not work on the Win7 laptop. It works fine with all the other computers in the house. I've tried a registry hack, setting LMCompatibilityLevel to both 1 and 2, checked and rechecked my Samba configuration, even tried resetting the clock (an odd solution I found online that some said helped.) But when I specify Home Premium in my searches, I see lots of questions, but no answers. So I thought I'd ask here.
Has anyone solved this issue, and if so, how?
