ME/Vista network problem
I have a small home network that has worked fine with 2 ME machines for
quite a while. I replaced one of my machines with a Vista machine. The Vista machine works fine seeing and logging on to the ME machine but the ME to Vista has problems. The ME machines sees the Vista machine but when I click on the Vista machine I get this message: Enter Network Password You must supply a password to makes this connection Resource \\Comp2\IPC$ Password Comp2 is the Vista machine. I can't figure out what the password should be nor how to set up one. I have password protected off on the Vista machine. Any help would very much be appreciated. |

ME/Vista network problem
I don't think ME can read NTFS.

For example think how many web sites that you visit are running on Linux but this doesn't stop you viewing them from a PC that knows nothing of the Linux file system. -- Mike Maltby |

ME/Vista network problem
Here's some info that might be helpful, although it sounds like your problem
is in the other direction, Bill. However, I'm just putting this out there in case. Cannot Authenticate to a Shared Folder from a Windows Vista-based Computer If you cannot authenticate when accessing a shared folder from a Windows Vista-based computer on a computer running a version of Windows prior to Windows XP (such as Windows 98 and Windows 95), a computer running an operating system other than Microsoft Windows, or to a network device, the cause might be a mismatch in the configured support for NTLM 2, an authentication protocol that is used for file and printer sharing connections. By default, Windows Vista is configured to use NTLM 2. To address this issue, you can do one of the following: a.. Enable NTLM 2 support on the computer or device to which the Windows Vista-based computer is attempting to connect. For computers running versions of Windows prior to Windows XP, see How to enable NTLM 2 authentication (URL:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239869). For computers running operating systems other than Windows, see the operating system's product documentation for information about how to enable NTLM 2 support. For network devices, see the device's product documentation or Web site for information about how to enable NTLM 2 support or download a firmware update that supports NTLM 2. This is the preferred solution. a.. If you cannot update the computers running operating systems other than Windows or your network devices to support NTLM 2, change the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa\LMCompatibilityLevel registry value on the computer running Windows Vista to 1. This solution is not recommended. Thanks, and good luck! Gloria -- Gloria Boyer Windows User Assistance Microsoft Corporation "N. Miller" wrote in message ...

It appears to be some kind of Windows Vista security issue involving passwords. I had trouble with password protected shares on the Windows ME computer in that something about the Windows MCE 2005 computers couldn't automatically mount the network drives. Despite being based on Windows XP, Windows MCE apparently lacks the ability to save passwords. The quick and dirty solution was to remove password protection on the Windows ME shares; not a problem on a wired LAN with only two users. -- Norman ~Shine, bright morning light, ~now in the air the spring is coming. ~Sweet, blowing wind, ~singing down the hills and valleys. |
