The standard advice is "try smbclient from the command line" and I'm going
to repeat that here. The error implies that your Windows system isn't
actually responding, but you'll want to confirm that.
A number of things have changed in Windows 7 which makes smb even less
practical than it formerly was, mostly permissions-related. You may want
to check that your shares work at all, and they're not blocked by one of
the many things that can prevent them from working, from disabled file
sharing to UAC controls to the Windows firewall.
That being said, I'm unclear on why anybody would refuse to use rsync.
