[Samba] win 7 client can't map drive: getpeername failed

Are XP clients having the same problem?      Trying with an XP client 
would help indicate if there was something specific to XP.    (I skipped 
vista.)


Can you check in smb.conf
     -  is the server a member server, AD member server, standalone 
server, or domain controller.
     -   Are ports explicitly defined
     -  how is name resolution configured?
    - is NTLMv2 required (I couldn't get NTLMv2 support working.)


Domain membership shouldn't matter at this point since you aren't even 
getting to the authentication phase.

Can you  telnet port 139 to make sure it is open?


Do you have a WINS server defined?    If so make sure client and NAS are 
using the same WINS server.    Is your NAS configured to use a DNS 
server?   Do you have a reverse lookup zone defined in DNS?    the NAS 
maybe trying to do a reverse lookup on the IP of the client.   There 
doesn't need to be a PTR entry for the client but you are least want the 
zone.     If DNS tries to lookup an IP and gets an immediate "host not 
found"   that is OK.  If it times out because it can't even locate a DNS 
server then that could cause problems for other services dependent on DNS.
