Just to update you all, I discovered from another newsgroup today that there have been some updates, including Samba, which seem to cure this problem. I fired up my Netbook, did the updates, and Lo! and Behold! the Windows 7 box is now accessible from 9.10!! So it seems it WAS a bad implementation of Samba. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I can't access the admin shares (C$, D$ etc) on the wife's PC running Windows 7 from my laptop running Ubuntu 9.10 (haven't tried it from XP yet so I don't know if it's something to do with changes to Windows 7), but I can access shares I have created myself. So for instance if I share my User folder on Windows, I can access it from Ubuntu 9.10. What I have done is set the share permissions so that my user on the PC can connect to the share with full control.

This may confuse the matter futher, but in this household, we have two Windows 7 Professional installs. One was done as an upgrade from Windows Vista, and that one refuses to share. The other was done as a clean install, and that one shares OK. -- Lesley Harrison -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I wonder WHY my 9.10 won't access any shares on my 7 Home premium box? (As yours, a clean install on a blank HDD...) All I get is an endless log-in dialog loop -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Re: [ubuntu-uk] accessing Windows 7 shares
Hi, To use the admin shares in win7 or vista you have to enable them via a registry setting: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-mapping-to-hostnamec-share-on-windows-vista/ rik Rob Beard wrote: Gordon wrote: This may be anecdotal or not!
