For some reason, I had not yet tried an AFP connection to an OS X server share from Windows 7 yet. So, I tried it today. Opened Computer, clicked on Map network drive and proceeded to map the drive. After providing the correct credentials, Windows 7 would not connect.
What do I do next? Search for an answer online (okay, I googled it). It took me a couple tries, but I finally found the following answer. Go to Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Local Policies - Security Options. Find the policy that's called:
Network security: LAN Manager authentication level
Then modify the setting to show Send LM & NTLM responses. Next, in the same location, find the policy that's called:
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP
Then modify the setting to disable Require 128-bit encryption. In my attempt, I only modified the first setting and was able to get in. The second setting was listed in the answer I found here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/75-63-windows-samba-issue
Basically, regardless of the type of connection (i.e. Samba, AFP, etc.) Windows needs to be able to send the correct type of challenge/response authentication protocol. By default, Windows 7 is not allowed to send the right one/type to OS X. This change in the local policies worked for me.
Happy Computing.

TIPS & TRICKS: SAMBA Printing in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1404
Mostly this was for myself, but might be useful for others. There's been some hiccups in printing as Apple comes out with updates. In 10.5.1, the method for adding networked Windows printers changed from the method in 10.4.x. The 10.5.2 release broke that change and in 10.5.3, everything worked again. In a previous post, I also noted that in 10.5.4 printing from Firefox was no longer working.
The key to SAMBA printing on OS X is the addresses used. The link to the Apple support page above is helpful and, mostly, I wanted to keep track of this information:
smb://user:password@workgroup/server/sharename
smb://user:password@server/sharename
smb://workgroup/server/sharename
smb://server/sharename
I may post the other steps, some of which are listed in the support page above, at a later time.
