Hard time with samba

Hello there,
I am using samba to in win 7 pro to connect to my linux samba server for a long time.
Recently, I installed SambaDroid on my mobile android phone, because I wanted to set a server there so I could access it from my pc. The problems started here. WHenever I try to map the network drive or access it through network devices panel i get the error message with code 0x80070043... No matter if i use ip address or server name for connection. I tried this and it didnt help:
samba share is not accessible from Windows 7 client...

The funny part is that I can connect to that server on a linux virtual machine hosted on that win pc. And second thind, if I manual type in the server address in the file explorer in windows (\\ipaddress), then it will access it! It wont when i use the server name though (ie \\SAMBADROID).

I mean, whats even going on here? I would really apreciate some help here in resolving the problem- which is being able to map this network drive.

bremenpl,

I don't know if this will help, but I've been having a similar situation to you, where I could access my samba share via XP and Linux but not Win7 (or rather I could, but it was a bit on and off). You can map a network drive using the IP address you know, because I've just done it myself and 'temporarily' solved my issue.

Hello, thank you for answer.
Yes you are right. Ip works but dns does not! I cant get over it because the ip of my phone changes depwnding on network i am in...

Sorry, are you wanting to setup a 'server' on your phone? If so why? Forgive me if I'm not interpreting your post properly!

Yes I need samba server on my phone.
