Getting Samba to work with Windows Vista

Vista defaults to only send the more secure NTLMv2 protocol, which Samba (and some NAS devices like the WL-700gE Router) do not support. This device is running Linux internally - great router btw ;)

To fix this click

• Click Start/Run

• Run secpol.msc

• Go to Local Policies | Security Options | Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level

• Change the settings from Send NTLMv2 response only to Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated

Good Luck ;)
