samba share is not accessible from Windows 7 client...
Hello,
I'm trying to map a network drive from my windows client running Windows 7 Enterprise. The folder is a Samba share on a linux (Fedora core 13) server. When I attempt to map the drive using the folder \\10.1.1.131\earth, I get the message via a dialog box:
Y:\ is not accessible
an unexpected network error occurred
From the explorer window, it appears like the drive got mapped (green line is on) but when I click it on, I get the same message as above.
I can map the Samba share just fine on machines running Vista Home premium and XP professional but I can't get it to work on my Windows 7 box. I'm figuring that the problem is on the Windows side and not on the Linux side since I can map the drive on other machines using different Windows OS.
I've tried all the suggestions of setting the various network security and network access options in the policy editor and nothing seems to work.
If anyone can offer any suggestions or help, it would be most appreciated...:)
Thanks!
