Windows 7 Home and Samba 2 share
See this post (for what it's worth) by komickaze @ http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/75-63-windows-samba-issue:
I had a similar problem when trying to connect Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Ultimate to a Mac OS 10.3.9 Server. I made the following change with the Local Security Policy on Ultimate and tested it successfully while watching the registry for changes. I found the following REG_DWORD values were changed:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LmCompatibilityLevel HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Control\Lsa\LmCompatibilityLevel
After further testing, I found these to be the values and coresponding settings:
0) Send LM & NTLM responses
1) Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated
2) Send NTLM response only
3) Send NTLMv2 response only
4) Send NTLMv2 response only. Refuse LM
5) Send NTLMv2 response only. Refuse LM & NTLM
I created the LmCompatibilityLevel setting on my Home Premium machine with a value of 1 (http://www.builderau.com.au/blogs/codemonkeybusiness/viewblogpost.htm?p=339270746) and was finally able to connect to the 10.3.9 Server.

Windows 7, connecting to Samba sharesI can't get Windows 7 Home to connect to a Samba 2 share?
I keep seeing articles that suggest using
'secpol.msc
', or 'gpedit' which I think isn't on the home version, as I cant find it.I can connect on MacOS so I'm guessing the this is done to the Windows side of things.
The error I get is
"A remote procedure call (RPC) protocol error occurred."
