How to contact a Linux Distro to Vista?

Normally I would contact a Linux machine by typing in
smb://Ipaddress/sharename.(to vista machine)

However, the Vista machine rejects user name and password.

Any suggestions?

thanks

Can you provide the -
1. version of Samba are you using ?
2. build of Vista are you running.

Can you change this registry setting on Vista
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\(REG_DWORD)LmCompatibilityLevel to
2 and try.

Additional comment:

Even with a firewall on Vista turned off, I can't ping the vista
machine.
