[Samba] Samba issues with Solaris 10

[Gaiseric Vandal]

Which Windows client version?  Solaris 10 has samba 3.0.x as the default 
version which won't work with Windows 7 (I think it works with Vista 
with registry tweeks.)

Is the nmbd daemon also running?


What does "net use" should from the command line of the windows 
machine?   You could also try using the "net use ..."  command to map 
the drive from the command line on Windows-  it may be more obvious if 
it fails.

Did the windows machine join the samba domain or is it still in 
workgroup mode?  When in domain mode you should be able to logon to the 
PC but then not have to provide the info again to access shares on the 
server (assuming the share and file perms are setup correctly.)
