Yes, tunnel all is set.

Interestingly, ShrewVPN on WindowsXP can't get to the share either. It can 
get to other Samba servers. It can do SSH and HTTP. But it simply cannot get 
to the shares on this one server.

Hi Arkadiusz,

Are you using a WiFi connection on your Win 7 device?  If so, check to
see if you have the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport adapter" in your
network device list.  If you do, try upgrading to Shrew client 2.2
beta, as it contains a fix for a conflict between Shrew and the Virtual
WiFi Miniport adapter.

Hi Carl,

This is a shot in the dark, but I would wonder if perhaps the problem
is related to broadcast traffic.  Older versions of the SMB protocol
relied on broadcast for resource discovery.  Windows 7 doesn't but
perhaps some combination of Win7 and the older Samba does...

Does your Shrew config have "Tunnel All" enabled in the policy tab?
Perhaps trying that will change something?
