I'm having fun getting this pair to talk sweetly together.
So many setup pages around, I'm quite confused.
A new install of samba, clean, just added
a [shares] section
        path = /share
        read only = no
        browseable = yes
        valid users = @users    
        create mask = 0660
        directory mask = 0771

Not even sure which site I followed for the win7 (64 bit) setup.

I've had it working ... booted and now it fails to connect,
pc client to server (linux).

Currently working my way through
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/diagnosis.html
  So far so good.

I note the samba.org docs are 3.0 focused, I'm using the most recent,
not sure if there are any changes which might impact the setup.

All I want is a simple (easy) transfer of files from the win box to
the linux box
(either way would suffice).

Which is the easiest windows 64 setup page please?
Or how to test?

Log isn't currently  telling me much.

Any suggestions please?
remove / re-install samba and start again?
