Map linux shared folders to Z drive in Windows Client. Unable to login through Samba Server

Question

Hi,
I am trying to map my linux machine to a network drive Z in Windows 7 . I added user guid in smbusers and created a password for this user through smbpasswd . Started Samba server on linuc, but when trying to create a network drive, it is asking for the login. I used credentials as GUID/<CREATEDPWD> . Not able to login with these credentials. Am I missing something. My Domain is ORADEV. I attached related files smb.conf,lmhosts,smbusers  files. Please let me know if i am not configuring samba server correctly.
Here is the sm.conf file Details :
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.
#======================= Global Settings =====================================

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page

Hi,
To clarify a couple of things:
1- "reverse-route" does not have anything to do with this issue, the problem relies on the Windows 7 machine.
2- Do you connect with an Admin account (Windows admin)?
3- Do you run the VPN client as an administrator?
4- Have you tried to disable any AV or software protection on the machine (just for testing).?
Let me know.
Portu.
