Can't access NTFS shared folders any more

After upgrading to Lion, my NTFS shared folders are no longer accessible. I can see the shared folder, but when I try to enter from Windows 7 box it says

Windows cannot access \\path\\to\\usbsharedresource
.


Even BOOTCAMP partition which was shared and working now inaccessible...

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

I tried sharing both - from partition root or particular folder. Same result. It is true for Bootcamp as well as externally hooked up NTFS HDD.


Hmm.. "Everyone" does not imply to particular user as far as I know. I am accessing shares as named user. Again, it is worth to mention that in Snow Leopard, the same resources were accessible to same windows 7 box with same user.

OK, looks like I am experiencing the very sam problem. All NTFS, FAT and exFAT Shares do not work.

I have all of them on external USB drives. All HPFS shares do work great independent where these are located

(means internal Macintosh HD or external drives). I tried to access the share from a Windows 7 Laptop. I booted my Mac in 32 and 64 Bit kernel mode but without any difference. I mean I have paragon NTFS 9.01 but this does not seem to make any influence since FAT and exFAT is also affected.

What's weird is that if Apple used their own implementation of SMB for Lion - and this implementation breaks shared NTFS resources - why does it break connections to a Lion hosted SMB shared NTFS resource - from a Lion client?!


Do the SMB server and client mismatch or something?! ***


I can (almost) understand Windows based machines not being able to access, but Lion to Lion not working is straight up poor form.
