Cannot connect with SMB folder from Android client

[PenguinApple]

On my Macbook (OSX Lion 10.7) I have samba sharing on :

System Settings -> File Sharing ON -> Windows sharing ON

my home folder shared only as my userid.

When I connect my Android (Samsung Galaxy S2 with 2.3.3),
NO Android app (AndSMB, ES File Manager, Astro, etc. ) connects with my Mac unless I share the folder anonymously (which is not desired).
When I connect any Android app over SMB with a Ubuntu Linux SMB server it connects flawlessly. And from the other way, when I connect a Ubuntu Linux or Windows PC with my Mac it connects flawlessly.

Is this a known Android or Lion issue ?

I have the exact same issue. I can with ES explorer from my Android connect to windows shares without any issues. I can connect to my Lion server with SMB as long as I have guest access. I cannot however access my Lion Server from android using SMB with authentication.

Currently I've set up an FTP server on my server and that works more or less fine, but I would prefer SMB if it's possible.

Anyone having a solution for this?

Have had the same problem and tried almost all android file explorers. FX file explorer with the Network extensions works. Don't ask me how. But I can confirm it does the job.
