Cannot Map Network Drive (After SP1?)

S

SPortis

I cannot now, on Vista Home Premium, map a network drive. I have an Infrant
ReadyNAS NV+ that I was able to map 2 shared drives to before SP1. I have
other XP machines on this network, and I'm still able to map drives from
those, but not the Vista.

When I am setting up the mapped drive, a dialog box asks me for a user id
and password for the share, and since I do not have a user id or a password
on the share, I cannot enter one, thus it fails. I am not able to set up a
User Id on the shared drive, only a password. When I tried to set a password
on the share to see if that would work, it did not (Vista still wanted a user
id).

Before SP1, I did not get the dialog asking for the User Id and Password.

What I have tried:
------------------
1. I read this article, where it discussed NTLMV2 authentication and how to
change it to NTLMV1 or LM Chellenge-response, but since I have Vista Home
Premium, I could not do these steps.

2. I have tried to change the Lsa by doing the following, and it does not
help:

a. Run the registry editor and open this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

b. If it doesn't already exist, create a DWORD value named
LmCompatibilityLevel

c. Set the value to 1



Thanks for any help.

The down side, after logging in the Profile user drive didn't map.
