You need at least version samba 3.2.12 or higher. You also need two registry entries on the machine. See this link: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 You do not HAVE to use the sernet/enterprisesamba.org though, there is a samba3x included in CentOS-5.8 that works just fine too: do this to see the packages: yum list samba-3x\* If you would like to try the smb2 protocol ... then you might try getting samba 3.6.x from enterprisesamba.org for CentOS-5: http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.6/rhel/5/ If you are not interested in smb2, then the samba3-3.5.x packages from CentOS should be fine.
