Searching numerous sites, I've seen modifying Local Group Policy as a solution...which doesn't fix my problem. Win7 reports that it can see the server, but connection (Map Network Drive) fails. Using BitVice SSH tool, I connect and share files in both directions. This is the case from two different computers running Win7 Pro.
Ideas?

Well ssh and SMB shares are two different things. I'd say you'd need to wireshark the traffic for smb and smbv2 to see what is failing exactly.
