So what does happen? Do you get asked for a username and password but it
won't accept it? If it does, have you tried specifying the computer name of
the mac and the username like this (without the quotes)
"ComputerName\UserName", for example for my mac named "RobsMac" and my
username on it (roberto) I'd use the username "robsmac\roberto"
I don't see where "AntiMac" has done the "NTLM" fix. I might have missed
it, but if s/he hasn't done this, here is how to get your Vista machines
to network with OS X:
From Michael Bishop (MS) - "Basically, the issue with Samba and Vista
is that Vista no longer permits LM or NTLM authentication by default;
only NTLMv2. Samba versions 1.x and 2.x only support LM and NTLM, so
there's an issue there.
"[MS] Recommended solution: upgrade to Samba 3.x and enable NTLMv2 by
adding "client ntlmv2 auth = yes" to your smb.conf file. Because of
another issues with previous versions, I strongly recommend upgrading to
3.0.22 or later regardless of your choice for this particular instance."
Here's what I did and it worked perfectly:
Alternate solution: change Vista's security settings to permit
lower-security authentications. (as below)
To enable Windows Vista to connect to Mac OS X with Windows File Sharing
enabled, you will need to change the following policy in Windows Vista:
Start>Run>secpol.msc [enter]
Click on "Local Policies" --> "Security Options"
Navigate to the policy "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication
level" and double-click it to get its Properties. By default Windows
Vista sets the policy to "NTVLM2 responses only". Use the drop-down
arrow to change this to "LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if
negotiated".
In Vista Home Premium, you won't have this tool so per Steve Winograd, do:
1. Run the registry editor and open this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
1. If it doesn't already exist, create a DWORD value named
LmCompatibilityLevel
3. Set the value to 1
4. Reboot
