Have you joined the domain?

this is the source of your issues. See [1] for the why and how.

You'll have problems like that if your account credentials aren't identical.
By logging in to the domain you're creating a link using a certain set
of credentials. Then by issuing \\samba_server\share and providing a
different set you're working against a longtime/well known limitation
that windows cannot connect to the same network resource using different
credentials...Is the Win 7 Pro by any chance?

It's not impossible but will likely lead to problems if
your not experienced in doing so.
