    Windows Explorer cannot access Samba automount directories


    Hello!

    I have a Samba server running Solaris and I'm able to access it fine using Windows 7 with NTLMv2.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
    LmCompatibilityLevel REG_DWORD 0x5

    However, there is this one feature that I can't get to work in Win 7 Explorer: automounting NFS shares.
    I should be able to go to \\system1\net\system2 and access anything that system2 is exporting to system1 via NFS.
    On the Solaris server there is no issue + I'm also able to do this in Win XP, Linux and even in Win 7 from the CMD (!!!)

    But when going to \\system1\net\system2 from Windows Explorer I get:

    "windows cannot access \\system1\net\system2. Check the spelling..."


    Just to make this clear: \\system1\net\system2 is not actually present but I should get automounted on demand (as I said, it's working from CMD).

    Any clues on where to look? I have a feeling there's a setting somewhere and I'm missing it...

    * Also, I remember it worked when using NTLMv1

    Thanks,
    Tibi

    Also, it does not seem to refresh changes. If I remove a file/folder from the server it doesn't show up in Windows Explorer (even after I hit refresh...)


    Any thoughts?
