[Bug 731976] Re: Can't access Windows 7 computer via SAMBA

[André Madureira]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: samba
  
  Hello,
  
  I have 4 computers in my home (mine is not included), being 2 of them
  Windows 7 Ultimate and 1 of them Windows XP Professional and the other
  one a Windows 7 Home Premium...
  
  PROBLEM:
  
  I can access with my LINUX (Ubuntu 10.10 and Kubuntu 10.10) via SAMBA
  the 3 computers in my home, but the other one (that is Windows 7
  Ultimate) I can't, and I don't know why... The message that shows when I
  try to access this PC is: "Cannot connect to the pc CONCE-CPU".
  
  IMPORTANT:
  
  I also have a Windows 7 Ultimate in my PC (I do a DUAL-BOOT with Windows
  7 and Linux Ubuntu) that can access this computer and all of the others
  as well... So, the problem is not in the remote PC and not in my
  machine, it's a LINUX specific problem...
  
  DETAILS:
  
  My LINUX: Linux kernel 2.6.35-27-generic-pae; Ubuntu/Kubuntu 10.10 ;
  using most up-to-date  SAMBA ;
  
  The Problematic Remote PC: Windows 7 Ultimate; Up-to-date (without SP1
  of Windows 7); with AVAST (FREE - WITHOUT FIREWALL) and built-in Windows
  FIREWALL ENABLED;
  
+ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 
  PS: I have a Windows XP Professional at home that also have AVAST and
  this SAMBA problem don't happen with it...
  
  PS²: I can ping the problematic remote PC (with Windows 7 Ultimate) with
- my LINUX and the result of this pinging shows that the computer can
- receive and send back my request without problems...
+ my LINUX if I use the IP of this problematic remote PC with the command
+ "ping IP-OF-THE-REMOTE-PC" (if I use the host name - that is CONCE-CPU -
+ instead of the IP, it don't answer to the ping because it shows the
+ error message "ping: unknown host conce-cpu" - the command syntax used
+ was "ping CONCE-CPU")...
  
  Thanks for your attention,
  
  André M.
