[robg adds: from some reading on another thread on vista64.com, it seems the problem is that microsoft has disabled lm and ntlm authentication, which is what os x's version of samba uses. microsoft's preferred solution is to upgrade to samba 3, which supports ntlmv2, as does vista. if you happen to be running vista home premium, you won't have the administrative tools application (advanced home users don't need to administer their machines, i guess?). the thread i linked to contains a registry editor alternative for home premium users.]     •     [13,800 views]    rate this hint: [ 1  · 2  · 3  · 4  · 5 ] average rating: hint options mail hint to a friend printable hint format fix a vista to mac failure to connect problem | 5 comments | create new account newest first oldest first flat nested no comments threaded click here to return to the 'fix a vista to mac failure to connect problem' hint the following comments are owned by the person who posted them. this site is not responsible for what they say. fix a vista to mac failure to connect problem by: coumerelli on mon, apr 9 '07 at 8:49am pdt does this only work with 10.4? i've got a 10.3.9 server (running a domain) that i cannot get vista ultimate (rc2, incidentally) to connect to. i need this to work before the company buys into vista on any level. anyone? i'll hop over to the forums and repost this, too. --- "the best way to accelerate a pc is 9.8 m/s2" reply to this • # fix a vista to mac failure to connect problem by: jyu on mon, apr 9 '07 at 9:00am pdt do we know what version of os x that shoutdown is running? because i tried connecting from vista business -- a fresh install, no twist -- to both my os x 10.4 server and 10.4 client and had no problem at all. os x 10.4 already has samba 3.0.10 installed. reply to this • # fix a vista to mac failure to connect problem - by: gxw on mon, apr 9 '07 at 9:46am pdt fix a vista to mac failure to connect problem by: andya on mon, apr 9 '07 at 1:51pm pdt 10.4.x should work w/o the change; 10.3.x requires it. keep in mind your security isn't as good. reply to this • # fix a vista to mac failure to connect problem by: necrosis on wed, aug 8 '07 at 7:53am pdt this is *the worst* way to handle this. you are lowering the security on vista instead of raising the security of samba. you are better off enabling ntlmv2 support in samba. granted you need to have samba v3+ in order to do this. as far as i know 10.4.x is running samba 3. add 'client ntlmv2 auth = yes' in the [global] section. reply to this • # from our sponsor... user functions username: password: don't have an account yet? sign up as a new user • lost your password? from our sponsors... what's new: hints19 new hints in the last 1 daycomments last 2 days 10.4: choose exposé windows without ...
