Users and passwords created normally and no errors occured BUT, when I write down \\ip-address of the linux PC\MyFiles and write down any of the created users and passwords i get this error in the windows PC: \\ip-address\Myfiles is not accessable. You may not have the rights to use this network resource. Try contacting the server administrator to gain access.
The group name could not be found.
I am pretty sure I gave identical name to both the linux/win7 network groups and I never got any error while configuring the samba.
Any ideas what might have gone wrong ?
Thanks in advance.

Before you start monkeying around the the registry in Win7 I would suggest the following:
** Start your own thread.
This thread is labeled "Outdated Tutorials and Tips" because the original author is no longer a member of the forum and no longer uses Ubuntu. BTW, despite it being called outdated it's still the best HowTo in this forum explaining how to set up a Linux WINS server .
** When you do start your own thread posting the output of the following commands will help in diagnosing your problem:
Code:
testparm -s
net usershare info --long
smbtree
