Hi Phillip,

There have been a couple of other posts to the list about problems
with karmic connecting to Windows 7 shares. The latest post by Gordon
says that it's now working for him after the latest updates.

So make sure you're up-to-date and post back here if you still have problems.

Cofion/Regards,
Neil.
