Samba share not working between VMs

[Ol!ver]

Hi

I'm trying to set up Samba on an Ubuntu VM, and then connect to it via a Windows 7 VM on the same host.

The Windows VM sees the share, but when I try and connect to it I am asked for authentication. I enter it, along with the domain name (ubuntubm\olivm) and my password, but then I get told that the user is not recognised.

Any ideas?

yeah, ive had this before. if you can see the shares then nothing should be wrong


Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Local Security Policy

Local Policies - Security Options



Network security: LAN Manager authentication level
Send LM & NTLM responses

Minimum session security for NTLM SSP
Disable Require 128-bit encryption

Could be forcing to use an encryption that Samba cant support?

Cheers, I'll have a gander. Oddly, the same Samba setup on the host is picked up fine by the Windows VM, making me wonder if it's an intra-VM thing.

Changed those. No dice.

Success!

For some reason I needed to set an SMB password.

[smbpasswd -a username]

I'm not sure why I didn't need to do this with the host, but did with a VM. It's the same install of Ubuntu!
