Seth,

It may be a similar issue to older Samba versions and Vista/Win7.  Google
for Samba and vista or windows 7 problems.

Solution we use from the interweb requires a regedit:

<quote>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LMCompatibilityLevel

controls the security level mandated or allowed for logins.  In Vista it
defaults to 0x3, which means "NTLMv2 only".  This is not supported by Samba,
or at least not supported by any of the Samba servers I use (Mac OS X,
Debian Sarge, or Buffalo TeraStation).  This is despite the fact that the
Samba documentation implies that it should work.

The fix is to change it to 0x1, which means "use NTLMv2 if available, or
older versions if not."  Reboot.  Samba shares will work just fine.
