Connecting to samba share works with smbclient, but doesn't work with Windows 7
I tried to share the directory /home/me/music with Samba. The output of testparm on my server is as follows (I think this is Ubuntu's default configuration, except for the [share] section):
[global]
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
map to guest = Bad User
obey pam restrictions = Yes
pam password change = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Entersnews*spassword:* %nn *Retypesnews*spassword:* %nn *passwordsupdatedssuccessfully* .
unix password sync = Yes
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
dns proxy = No
usershare allow guests = Yes
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
create mask = 0700
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
[share]
comment = My music files
path = /home/me/music
create mask = 0755
I used smbpasswd to give a passwort to the user friend.
When I try to connect to the share from another Ubuntu machine with smbclient, everything seems fine:
smbclient -U friend //192.168.1.2/share
I can call dir, and I see the content of the directory.
However, when I want to connect the network drive from a Windows 7 machine (\192.168.1.2share with user WORKGROUPfriend), I get the error that the network address is not reachable (I cannot tell the exact error message, because I have a German Windows version). The error is misleading, because I can ping 192.168.1.2 from the Windows machine.
I guess I am not the first person to run into this, but Googling for "samba" and "network unreachable" doesn't help. I hope somebody can tell me what's wrong with my config, and what's the difference between running smbclient and connecting from Windows.

Netscan (for windows) is a very handy tool for browsing lan. There is a similar application for linux too, named ---ShareScanner (netscan for linux). You can download it from:
http://sharescanner.net84.net
The site contains 32 and 64 bit debian and rpm packages for easy installation. It is actually a gui for smbclient
