Samba VPS Help!
"Windows requires a share to publish to. Please try another location."
I keep getting this error when trying to connect to my VPS samba share on Ubuntu 10.10. I've spent about two hours turning things on and off and trying google. If anyone has any information to help me out, thanks!
I am using Windows 7 64-bit.

What have you ruled out so far?
iptables off?
samba users created?
samba share published?
Do you even get a login box?
Can you telnet to the SMB server (ports 139 & 445 from memory)?
Is there any firewall software on the windows server?█ -> INCEPTION HOSTING LIMITED Since 2010!

Are you on an OpenVZ based VPS? Samba is pretty hit/miss with it.
