I'm upgrading the desktops on my LAN from Windows XP to Windows 7 (x64 Ultimate, if that matters). The samba version is 3.5.6 on FreeBSD 8.1 amd64.
I can successfully map the samba shares on both XP and 7, but while XP shows the expected description which includes the server string (for ex- ample, "data on 'RAIDzilla II (rz2)' (Y:)", 7 shows only "data (\\rz2) (Y:)". Additionally, on the Windows 7 systems, the samba servers don't appear in "Network" (the desktop icon of the same name). If I say "start \\rz1" in a command window, I see the share on the samba server. I don't know if this is related to the issue with the server string or not. I have a very simple smb.conf: -------- # Samba config file for RAIDzilla II # Global parameters [global] server string = RAIDzilla II security = user log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 dns proxy = No hosts allow = 192.168.0., 10.40.18., 127. interfaces = lagg0 [data] path = /data read only = No -------- Are there samba config options that can be changed to get the same be- havior on Windows 7 that I get on XP? If not, is there something that can be changed on the Windows 7 side?
