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_readonly
VFS_READONLY(8) System Administration tools VFS_READONLY(8)NAME
vfs_readonly - make a Samba share read only for a specified time period
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = readonly
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The vfs_readonly VFS module marks a share as read only for all clients connecting within the configured time period. Clients connecting
during this time will be denied write access to all files in the share, irrespective of ther actual access privileges.
This module is stackable.
OPTIONS
readonly:period = BEGIN, END
Only mark the share as read only if the client connection was made between the times marked by the BEGIN and END date specifiers. The
syntax of these date specifiers is the same as that accepted by the -d option of GNU date(1).
EXAMPLES
Mark all shares read only:
[global]
vfs objects = readonly
Mark the [backup] share as read only during business hours:
[backup]
path = /readonly
vfs objects = readonly
readonly:period = readonly:period = "today 9:00","today 17:00"
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 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.
