networking Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows 7
Anyone managed to do this? I have shared folders in Win 7 but my Ubuntu
machine won't connect. It just reverts to the log-in screen all the time.

What are you currently trying to do that causes it to "revert to the
login screen"?

Just the normal "connect to" in the Networking window.
XP works OK.
I have just heard that there may be a bug with Samba and Windows 7....

This lunchtime I saw this:
http://itworld.com/security/78261/microsoft-says-turn-windows-feature-protect-windows
Summary:
- Apparently MS have invented SMB2, which offers no advantages over SMB
except for not being compatible with Samba.
- Vista and Win7 use SMB2. Which would be your problem.
- Also, it seems that there is a big SMB2 security hole, for which no
fix is available; the solution is to disable SMB2.
- But, Vista and Win7 also have SMB. So if you disable SMB2, then the
Win7 machine will start working properly (i.e. connect to
non-Vista/Win7 machines) again!
I don't have access to Vista or Win7. But from the article, it looks
like disabling SMB2 would be the way to go.

Tried disabling SMB2 - no difference.

Solved - there has been a Ubuntu update recently that included a Samba
update. The Win 7 shares are now immediately accessible from my Ubuntu
Netbook.
