* First make sure that '''your workgroup or samba domain match between your HDA and your clients'''. For your HDA's workgroup/domain, go to Setup -> Settings and turn on advanced settings, after that, go to Shares -> Settings and check the workgroup name. If the DNS domain is home.com, the workgroup will be just home.
* So, if your username is jdoe and the workgroup is HOME, try HOME\jdoe

* If only one user can access the shares, and your shares are in a subdirectory of /media, you'll need to unmount your drive from /media, and re-mount it using the instructions found here: [[Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA|How to add additional hard drives in your HDA]].
* In at least Windows 7, we have observed that the operating system tries to use a "Domain" of the name of the computer, which is wrong! Try typing this in the Username field:
YOURWORKGROUP\username
* Some windows clients for some reason may require the whole DNS path, so if your internal domain is, say, home.com, try:
\\hda.home.com
* Make sure the user has permissions to at least read the share (of course) in the Shares area of your HDA
* Check the Credential manager under Control Panel: Control Panel -> Al Control Panel Items -> Credential Manager: See this [http://forums.amahi.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=964&start=11 thread in the forums].
