Installed Ubuntu 11.10 64bit today and got to a problem.
Can't connect to Windows 7 shared folders.

I have tried every single method I could find on google. Mount with "mount cifs", "smbmount", changed homegroups, etc and no luck.

Windows 7 is clean setup with no-password sharing enabled. Other windows computers can access shares without a problem.

On ubuntu I can see windows 7 under WindowsNetworks->WORKGROUP> but nothing.

Edit: It looks like now I can see shares of other windows 7 computer (with login and password) but not the one I need (without login and password)

I ran into this problem after upgrading from Ubuntu 10.x. installing smbfs with

sudo apt-get install smbfs

fixed it. I was connecting to a network drive, though, not a window$ box.

Good luck
