Hi. I've got a nasty problem with Samba. Basically, I can't connect to my Samba service from a home laptop (running Windows 7). I guess that on this side everything is fine, I'm using my corporate Samba shares via VPN, I've been using Samba on my previous server and it was running OK. I've asked my buddy living nearby to connect and it didn't work for him, as well as for 15 other people across living my country. The weirdest thing is, that there are actually people that are able to connect. They were using both Windows XP and 7 and I can't really tell why. I see their connections in logs, but I can't really tell a difference between my and theirs setup. I've tried to use default Debian Etch 2.x Samba, 3.x backports version, compiled 3.x from sources, even reinstalled operating system on the server. I've used default config, copied one from my previous server, wrote it from stretch server times. Every single time it was possible to connect locally (smbclient -L localhost). On the client side, I've tried using default Windows 7 (and XP) smb/cifs implementation and cygwin's smbclient. My server ISP tells that they don't block anything and it's the first time someone has reported problem like this. My iptables are clean at the moment. Currently I'm using v. 3.2.5 with default config with one share and added user by smbpasswd.

I'd appreciate any help, thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
