I have Fedora 12 installed with Samba 3.4.2 as a VMware client on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit operating system. Both SElinux and the firewall are disabled. On an XP client I can view the SAMBA shares no problem. However on the Windows 7 64bit box I can see the machine "fedora12" but cannot progress past the request for username/password. Based on other searches I have updated the "Local Security Policies" Network security: LAN Manager authentication level Send LM & NTLM responses Minimum session security for NTLM SSP Disable Require 128-bit encryption but nothing changes. Does anyone have any suggestions on wha else I might try to get this working. Thanks in advance. Mark smb.conf....

Solved ! I have just overcome my issue but would still be keen to hear from anyone who has a better suggestion or advice. 1) Created a local user account for the Windows-7 machine, using the machine name 2) Create a local user account for the Windows-7 user account. 3) Sync the local accounts with Samba 4) Restart Samba Thanks Mark
