OK. I have also tried 3.6-pre1 and git version. Same result : Win7 
clients can not connect to a guest ok share.
Should I file a bug on this ?

The reason I am trying SMB2 is that I also have a Windows 2008 Server 
(running on the same type of hardware as the Samba servers) and its 
performance are a lot better when talking to Windows 7 clients.
Typically :
- reading from samba servers reaches 70 MB/s
- reading (same files on same client) from windows server gives over 100 
MB/s

Apart from the use of SMB2 protocol, I can't see why Windows Server 2008 
would be so faster than Samba.


Thanks,
