Windows 7 cannot discover any samba servers on my local network, I can navigate to them manually with \\server.

Solved (kinda)

I'm no Win7 expert but suspect that your network settings from Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings might help someone diagnose it? – serialhobbyist Dec 20 '09 at 16:07

Solved

In the Advanced Sharing Settings (accessed through left panel in Network and Sharing Centre), Choose 'Enable file sharing for devices that use 40- or 56-bit encryption'.

Seems that samba doesn't support 128-bit encryption (or I haven't configured it to do so)

This article might help: Get Vista and Samba to work.
(Although written for Vista, it also applies to Windows 7.)

If the cause for the problem is NTLMv2 authentication, this article describes how to make Windows 7 negotiate with Samba for a common authentication protocol.
