Access from Client (Win7) to Server (eCS 2.1)

[dirk]

I'm trying to migrate from LAN-Server to SAMBA. I set up a complete isolated network with not more than 2 participants: 1) Samba Server (3.3.16 / 1.1.2-687) on eCS (2.1 DE)

• Hostname: eCSServ / 192.168.0.1 / Workgroup: XXXXXXX

2) Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 (Version 6.1.7601)

• Hostname: 7Client / 192.168.0.2 / Workgroup: XXXXXXX

When I try to link from 7Client a drive (c), that is shared by eCSServ, I after some seconds get an error by the 7Client. The Error message depends on the SAMBA-loglevel! Level 10 = " the server cannot service the request" Level 2 = "The specified network name is no longer available". I have no problems in connecting a WinXP or an eCS (1.2 / 2.1) Client to this Server. I disabled SMB2 on the 7Client. (hopefully did it) User: root / root I hope you can help me. With kind regards

Just tested a "fresh" Win 7 enterprise (without SP1!) in a virtualbox. Connected perfectly to eCS Samba 3.3.16 PDC. Just changed the registry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet?\Services\LanmanWorkstation?\Parameters DomainCompatibilityMode? = 1 DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0

@Michael thx for the link

Tried again and made it work without any problems! Sorry, but don't know the difference to my problematic installation. Can now access from and to WIN7 to and from eCS SAMBA-Server/Client?. So problem should be declared as non-existing or resolved.
