Hi All,
I have a linksys NSLU2 NAS box on my network which has 2 HDD's on board and
i use it as an ethernet conneted network storage device.
In XPSP2 both drives are mapped, works fine.
The network is not a domain, just a workgroup.
When trying to map a network drive connection, the wizard accepts the
network path, asks me to log on (using the UN & PWD that i have set up on the
NSLU2 NAS box), and i get the following error message:
"Log on unsucessful. Windows is unable to log you on. Be sure that your user
name and password are correct"
I know that they UN & PWD are fine, any thoughts on how i might overcome
this issue? |

Hello,
Please try the following steps ... this will change the way Windows Vista
authenticates with other computers to the same setting that Windows XP uses.
*** These steps change default security settings of Windows Vista.
*** The result: your machine will be less secure by changing these settings.
- Click Start
- Click Control Panel
- Click System and Maintenance
- Click Administrative Tools
- Double-Click Local Security Policy
- In the left pane, click the triangle next to Local Policy
- In the left pane, click Security Options
- In the right pane near the bottom, double-click "Network security: LAN
manager authentication level"
- Click the drop-down box, and click "Send LM & NTLM responses"
- Click OK
- JB |

Jimmy,
I cant thank you enough for your speedy reply and detailed accurate
information.
I knew it had to be some configuration in the way authentication was setup,
i just cant believe that NTLM is not available as a subset to V2 to allow
Vista users to connect in that matter?
You know, at least context sensitive help stating that i may have to change
my security policy at XXX location in windows to complete my task (intro
hyperlink to secpol.msc)
You saved the day my friend, much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
G

You're welcome.

There are major security issues with lower versions ... anyone sniffing the
network could easily translate them into passwords.

I agree. I also think Windows should recognize when it's trying to
authenticate with a host that doesn't support the protocol it wants to use,
and ask you if you want to downgrade.

I can't thank you guys enough - this would explain why I have had the
authentication problem on one PC which was a fresh install of RC1, but not
with a laptop that was an upgrade from Beta 2 both using mapped drives on a
Maxtor Shared Storage Plus NAS!!

Jimmy - I think this will help my problems with my Linksys NAS as well.
However, after clicking on Admin Tools I don't see a "Local Security Policy"
shortcut to double-click on. Is there something I am missing?

Click Start, and in the quick search box, type in
Local Security
and you'll see it find Local Security Policy (assuming you have the quick
search box enabled in your start menu). Press Enter to launch it directly.

Still don't see anything. I've tried every way I know how to search in
Vista, but still no Local Security Policy.

Which version of Vista are you using. If you are using Either one of the
Home versions, most of the .MSC tools are not available in that version.
