I just tried this, using my daughter's Mac mini and another computer
running Win7 Home Premium. I could read, delete and write with the Win7
box once I changed it to using a workgroup as opposed to a home group.
Bluntly, MS apparently is going to confuse a lot of folks with home
networking setups with Home groups if this continues, since the
homegroup setting only works with Win7 computers.
I also had to slightly cheat and change smb.conf to use "security =
share" (which is hopelessly outdated and discouraged), which leads me to
suspect that Windows doesn't properly deal with users and passwords.
When I switched back to my normal security settings in smb.conf, I could
still read but not write or delete.
I couldn't figure out how to quickly get the mac to connect and write,
and I'm running late now.
