http://ubuntuforums.org – Like many people it seems, I'm having trouble connecting to a Samba share on a machine running Lucid, in my case from a Windows 7 machine. I've tried all of the usual suggestions I can find. I can see the share from my windows machine, and when I try to connect to it, I get a Windows prompt "Enter network password". I have the same username set up under Windows and Ubuntu, and I am not using a domain controller. The workgroup is WORKGROUP in Windows, and that is what I have set in smb.conf in Ubuntu. This is where the problems start - the commentary all seems to say "use the sam (HowTos)

I think I configured my Samba fine, but I cant access the share from a Windows machine. The network is set as bridged in VB configuration and I can ping the Windows machine from CentOS. Also, I can ping it back from the Windows machine.

I have one Windows 7 machine and when on Fedora 17 64bit (default install, nothing changed) I cannot browse the network shares. After installing Samba and Samba-Client, I am able to see the Windows workgroups (MSHOME and WORKGROUP). I can browse MSHOME which houses a XP machine with no shares. I cannot browse WORKGROUP, which contains the Windows 7 Machine.

[ubuntu] Samba and Windows 7 11 weeks 6 days ago

Hello everyone, I have been trying to setup samba on my ubuntu 12.04 LTS machine for file sharing with windows 7, so far i am keep getting "access denied" from my windows 7 client.

I have googled everywhere and tried all sorts of things but still getting this "access denied" problem

my steps were: 1) install samba on my ubuntu 12.04 LTS machine 2) i edited the smb.conf:

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and trying to install a printer over the network which is plugged into a Windows 7 machine.

I can see the workgroup fine and the computer fine on the network, but when I try to double-click on the computer (both via the nautilus and the printer setup route), it asks me for a username, workgroup and password.

Hey all,

I had my PC set up nice and then i used computer janitor to remove things. I forgot to tell it not to mess with my settings so i have had to redo everything.

I have samba installed and it can see my PC over network but it asks for username and password.

I've read several threads regarding the setup and use of Samba, and Samba has always been working fine until recently. I didn't change anything, but for some reason, it appears that Samba only resolves hosts on the default "Workgroup" workgroup. However, the /etc/samba/smb.conf file is setup to use a different workgroup.

Hello. I'm running a dual boot with Windows XP and Ubuntu (linux mint)

I would like to try to set up a simple home network between this machine and another one which runs exclusively WindowsXP. More specifically, I would like to allow the other computer to have access to the HP Laserjet which is connected directly to this dual-boot machine.

I have a few conditions to meet with a new samba setup.I want to migrate a windows based share to a linux samba share. However this time the share is in the regular corporate LAN and I do not have the rights to add this samba server to the corporate windows domain.

Samba ask "password" at windows 7 x64.
