This is driving me nuts and I'm hoping I'm not reposting this issue here when someone else has already had/solved it, but Googling has yielded nothing.
I'm trying to access/mount shares from two different Windows 7 machines from Amahi (Fedora 12) and I keep getting "Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve list from server." However, I am able to access my Mac's shares just fine and, going in the opposite direction, Windows 7 has no problem accessing my Amahi shares. Also, my Mac can access the Windows shares and the Windows computers can access each other.
I've tried everything I can think of and all the sharing on my Windows machines should be set up fine.
Anyone encounter this?
Having trouble mounting Windows share
Re: Having trouble mounting Windows share
Is the workgroup set the same on all clients and the HDA? I believe the HDA defaults to HOME and of course we know MS defaults to WORKGROUP.

I've tried using the same workgroup and different workgroups. It makes no difference.
Re: Having trouble mounting Windows share
Can you mount them by using their IP address? I know it's not quite the same but I always struggled to permenantly mount my samba shares by name and got fed up and just used their IP address instead.

Tried that too! Hahah
