Vista Home Premium and Samba

- Click start
- Type: regedit
- Press enter
- In the left, expand these folders:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\

- In the left, click on the folder named:

Lsa

- In the right, double-click "LmCompatibilityLevel"
- Type the number 1 and press enter
- Restart your computer

I had given up on Vista during Beta testing because I couldn't find any
help in connecting to my Clarkconnect NAS box. I could see the box, the
shared folder, but personal folders were unavailable.

Not having secpol.msc available in Vista Home Premium was going to mean
I was going to have to rebuild my NAS with another OS.

With your regedit, I am now able to see my individual folders. Thank
YOU!!!

One issue, I can't log into the NAS share without typing in the
computer name/workgroup that I belong to along with the share
name(example:Computer-Name.MSHOME\username). It is NOT a big problem
and thanks for not making me rebuild my NAS box!!!

After many unsuccessfull attempts with regedit (as that would solve all
my problems!), I managed to connect to my linux-based samba server from
Vista Home Premium by entering the IP address of the server instead of
the name.

I guess I have something non-configured on the server...

So, I just map the drive normally, but instead of
\\servername\sharename
I use \\a.b.c.d\sharename where a.b.c.d is the ipaddress.

Good luck!
