Samba connection issue when accessing from Windows 7

Post by lcoulon »

Hello

I have an iConnect and Meteohub : i'm experiencing problems to connect Meteohub Samba folder from Windows 7.

Windows 7 Home Premium always asks for a login / password.
I've tried to use the credentials i usually use to connect Meteohub web page but no success.

I've also modified Windows 7 registers as suggested here : http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 :cry:

Can you help me please ?
Many thanks

Laurent,

win7 firewall does block the relevant smb ports by default - even for the internal private network :wink:
