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)

Hi,


Something like that happenned to me I fixed it by using Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.0 (8.0 doesn't work on Lion)

NTFS for Mac will fix only your bootcamp HDD means that if you want to share an image with your wife's computer you are going to need another fix.

SMBUp is working great for me, replaces Lion's implementation of smb filesharing service (which *****) with the real deal (Samba) and provides a nice GUI to manage it all from. Does not require messing around in console. Working great for me so far on OSX Lion with Paragon NTFS sharing drives with Windows 7 PCs. Free with option to donate http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/41541/smbup
