samba - Mar 2014 - some users can't access Samba Share

Hi,

I'm very new at using Samba and this problem is driving me crazy. I also
realize that this problem may not be a Samba issue, but...


I have a home network consisting of 4 Win7 PCs and a Linux Server running Ubuntu
13.10.


I have set up the Samba config to create an open share on the Server. I just
want anybody in my home network to able to store and delete files on the share.


Now three of the users can do this with no problem, but the fourth user (which
happens to be my PC) cannot. I can see the server in the Win Network view but
when I try to open it, I get asked for a userid/pw. If I enter my Linux account
details, then the share shows up, but I do not have write access, which makes it
fairly useless.
I found one post on a forum that it was not a good idea to have a Linux user and
windows user with the same userid, for Samba purposes, so I deleted the Linux
user and created a new one, but it made no difference.

I have been using tcpdump on the server to try to see what the difference is
between the good and bad cases, but as I'm not sure what I'm looking
for, that has not been helpful either.

The fact that three users can use the share OK, makes me think its a problem
with my PC, but I have no idea what. The PC is relatively new installation of
Win7 Professional 64bit and the server is a very new installation of Ubuntu
13.10 64 bit server edition.

Has anybody had a problem like this and solved it or have any idea what could be
going wrong.

Thanks for any help

What  sort of samba do you use, 3 or 4 series?
With W7X64 there could be an issue with the 3 series.
So you should play with the local security LM and NTLM things .

Good Luck
