Thank you so much! I can paste you smb.conf later on. No doubt that it could be, as you stated, a configuration problem.
Thank you so much! I can post you the smb.conf later on if you would like to see it. High probability that there is something wrong.
linux, debian :)
i can confirm positively that i can see with net share admin$ and ipc$. i can see other windows machines with my notebook. however i have another windows machine that can only see the debian server after the first connection to the share. beforehand that machine can not see the share under the network environment. i think i described the behaviour in my first post. it is quite weired. One windows 7 machine can see it and access it perfectly!
I have tried but I cannot reproduce your issue, but whatever I do my connection works.
You have confirmed that Debian is configured correctly, as it must be for your other Windows PCs can access it, Windows Network Discovery is turned on and you can ping Debian.
I'll ask if some of other geeks have an idea, I surely don't.

that is actually the very frustrating point 2 out of 3 windows 7 machines can access the Debian Server (\\ and ip\\ wise) and there is no problem. just one stupid windows 7 notebook giving me headache and i don't know why!!! Spend 3 days invastigating already. No more clue right now!
