I was never able to figure out how to get a Linux machine to connect to a Vista machine smb share reliably, and haven't been able at all to connect a Linux machine to Win7 smb share. I'm sure there's some trick, I just haven't found it. As a stop gap I installed cygwin and sshd so I could at least get at my files over sshfs, not ideal, but better then nothing.
