Re: Scan to SMB Win 7 home

Just to add to the whole win 7 scan to folder issues. Maybe this will help, Win 7 has to have folders shared in 2 ways. The 1st way is sharing the folder locally on the PC and the 2nd is sharing it on the network. The user credentials the copier is using has to have permissions for both. When you setup a folder for scanning, it has to be setup twice, once for the network share with all the permissions set under the sharing tab and then second shared locally with permissions under the security tab. It won't work if it isn't shared both ways.

Where I think most of the problems occur is not setting up the network share/permissions but the local permissions. It can get tricky when the share is in one of the "home" folders, or if there is only one user and you use their credentials, or the different ways to add the share in win7, or different versions of win 7. In these cases the local permissions maybe already there and the network share setup is all that is needed, like having only 1 user on the PC. Or depending on the version of win 7 some folders will already have a group called "authenticated users" under the security tab. Sharing with everyone might work most of the time even if it isn't the best security. But even that can fail if the user credentials the copier is using isn't listed under the group "everyone" on the local PC. Adding a share by "right clicking>share with>" or "right clicking> properties> sharing> share" will automatically add the user to the security tab. In this way the simple sharing is better than the advanced sharing.

However you setup the share just be sure to check that the user credentials have permissions in both tabs, sharing and security.

Re: Scan to SMB Win 7 home

Thanks for the pdfs, will try to set the scope for remote ip to any ip and will let you know.
Forgot to mention that I am trying to set up scan to folder on my Laptop that runs Win 7 Home using a crossover cable. I also run a Virtual PC using XP and had no problem scaning to SMB on XP.

MFPTech,
i know this post is a little old, but most new laptops NICs have an automatic crossover cable feature and a regular cat5 would be simpler to configure for. can you print to, ping, and reach the web page or the MFP?

Try uninstalling Windows Live Essentials. This will work. I had the same issue installing a Toshiba 3040c.

Has anyone been able to set up scan to smb in Win 7 Home please?
Selected the right settings for the shared folder, Advanced Sharing, Windows Firewall, opened TCP port 139, you name it. The only thing I haven't done is a data capture because I haven't found a new hub yet.

Thanks in advance!

change your port from 139 to 445 also open port 445 in the fire wall.
