Advance system settings – Computer Name – Network ID – (click on) This is a Home Computer …. Restart.

did this and was able to mount the share or map it afterwards. however, after about 5 minutes of having connected to the share, windows 7 crashes and restarts. it happened to me 6 times. all i had to do was have a mapped network drive to the mac os x share and that would trigger the crash in about 5 minutes. disconnecting the share resolves the problem, no more crashes. i tried other settings (ntlm responses) but still no dice.

Thanks for the fix! Worked like a champ with Mac OS X 10.5.6.
