CIFS 3.2 - Can't map drive Windows 7 but ftp works

I have 3.2 installed on a Debian 5.3 server. It seems to function perfectly except for one issue. I am unable to use CIFS to map a network drive on a Windows workstation in the same workgroup. FTP works fine. I've turned the firewall off on the server. I am able to find the server name and path in Alfresco Explorer (\\ALF\Alfresco), but when I enter it into the windows workstation, it constantly returns "The Network Name can not be found". I can ping the server, and as I mentioned, the ftp part of the alfresco file-server works just fine.

Here's my /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/fileServers/default/file-server.properties:

filesystem.name=Alfrescofilesystem.acl.global.defaultAccessLevel=cifs.enabled=truecifs.serverName=alfcifs.domain=789cifs.broadcast=255.255.255.0# An empty value indicates bind to all available network adapterscifs.bindto=10.1.10.195cifs.ipv6.enabled=falsecifs.hostannounce=true# Enable the use of asynchronous sockets/NIO codecifs.disableNIO=false# Disable the use of JNI code. Only currently affects Windowscifs.disableNativeCode=false# Session timeout, in seconds.

And here's my /opt/Alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/file-server.properties
filesystem.name=Alfrescocifs.enabled=truecifs.localname=alfcifs.domain=789cifs.broadcast=255.255.255.0cifs.bindto=10.1.10.195cifs.ipv6=disabledcifs.hostannounce=trueftp.enabled=trueftp.ipv6=disablednfs.enabled=false‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I've confirmed the workstations are in the same workgroup. Alfresco Explorer shows \\ALF\Alfresco\ as the network path for "Company Home". But it doesn't work. I don't know what else to check. There are no errors or warnings in the alfresco.log. It just shows a normal startup. Anyone aware of problems with CIFS and Windows 7?

HELP!  Smiley Very Happy

I had a similar issue on Vista. I was able to fix it using a comment to this bug report.
