The server is Linux. Its firewall is presently disabled.
Everything else works with perfection, including other things hosted on the server. Just not samba file shares. It's presently using winscp as an ugly workaround. The Win7 machine refuses to acknowledge its existence there. It sees other Windows machines but not the Linux one.
I can't bring the Windows client to an earlier restore point. I don't even know what I'd be trying to undo, anyhow.
...and so on. There's lots more different shares.
The 'hosts allow' is completely intentional. Random clients that aren't recognized by our DHCP server will get IP addresses > 128, which will prevent them from talking to our SAMBA server. Only office computers that our DHCP server has static addresses assigned to will be able to get into SAMBA.
The computer in question has .18 on the wired and .19 on the wireless, so is definitely allowed no matter what.
Did I mention that every other client except this computer still works? Even our network scanner still works.

There were no Windows updates installed between the time this Win7 client was able to connect and when it suddenly started refusing to. None whatsoever.

Had a suggestion to restart the Workstation and/or Computer Browser services.
Attempting to stop the Computer Browser service gets "Error 1061: The service cannot accept control messages at this time".
Attempting to stop the Workstation service gets exactly the same thing.

So, I finally got around to getting Dreamscene to work with my Win 7 (64bit) Laptop.
The only thing I find quite annoying, is that I have to "right click" a video file (.wmv/.mpg) and select "Set a Background" each time I want to change the video file.
Is there a way to 'directly forward' a... (1 Reply)

vfs_syncops
VFS_SYNCOPS(8) System Administration tools VFS_SYNCOPS(8)NAME
vfs_syncops - Ensure meta data operations are performed synchronously.
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = syncops
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
Some filesystems (even some journaled filesystems) require that a fsync() be performed on many meta data operations to ensure that the
operation is guaranteed to remain in the filesystem after a power failure. This is particularly important for some cluster filesystems
which are participating in a node failover system with clustered Samba. On those filesystems the vfs_syncops VFS module provides a way to
perform those operations safely.
This module is stackable.
CONFIGURATION
Most of the performance loss with the vfs_syncops VFS module is in fsync on close(). You can disable that with syncops:onclose = no that
can be set either globally or per share.
On certain filesystems that only require the last data written to be fsync()'ed, you can disable the metadata synchronization of this
module with syncops:onmeta = no. This option can be set either globally or per share.
The vfs_syncops VFS module can also be disabled completely for a share with syncops:disable = true.
EXAMPLES
Add syncops functionality for [share]:
[share]
path = /data/share
vfs objects = syncops
syncops:onclose = no
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4.1.0 of the Samba suite.
AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
