Been trying to get Samba working correctly for ages in Windows 7.

Thanks to Burnham and THIS (http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?32701-SAMBA-problem-in-ver-773&p=248468#post248468) thread managed to get it working.

1) Menu > Setup > System > Network > Samba Setup > Install Samba.
2) Find your workgroup name, see here

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/join-or-create-a-workgroup
3) FTP to /etc/samba and edit in smb.conf the line below:

workgroup = vix <<<< THIS MUST BE THE NAME OF YOUR WORKGROUP!

Example, mine called WORKGROUP so line should be:

workgroup = WORKGROUP

Big thanks to Burnham :thumbsup:
