SMB Share

All forums looked for answers, none found. Googled for answers, none given.

I have read abount and understand the non-support of SMB in Lion, however, if I go to System Preferences undder sharing, all options are there, but do not work.

Why then is it there?

(Password does not work for allowing share)

Without diving into all of the items I have found on the web discussing this issue, it's pluses, minuses, etc., the bottom line is HOW do I from a Windows 7 machine connect to a share on a OS X Lion machine, like I used to be able to do and seems ike nobody can do anymore?

Alex,

THANK YOU!! I have been banging my head against a brick wall trying to figure this out.

Would you mind sharing how you arrived at this solution??

hello everyone, I too have this problem. I ran a packet sniffer on my windows 7 box. data is being sent to the pc. there seems to be a problem with the NTLM challenge. I'm gonna see if I can see whats going on in the data, but if your familar with Windows network security, you can poke around and see whats going on. If I find something useful I will report back.
