I resolved my issue by uninstalling Windows Live sign in assistant on the windows 7 system. Go figure. Found it in an xbox media center thread. Tried it because nothing else has worked so far, and voila.Regardless, I read his issue as being one of accessing shares on windows 7 from QNX as a client.The samba spec does include a smb client running on linux, but he may be mistaken thinking that his implementation of samba includes using it to access windows shares.
