The problem: From Windows Vista, you can map to network shares on Windows based systems, but not to Samba shares on 'nix systems. Specifically, Vista keeps prompting you for a different 'correct' password. Microsoft's security policy on WIndwos Vista is interestingly set by default to exclude mapping to Samba shares. To fix this click START | Run | secpol.msc. Go to Local Policies | Security Options and find Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level (click below for larger image).  Change the settings from Send NTLMv2 response only to Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.  Vista defaults to only send the more secure NTLMv2 protocol, which Samba (and, incidentally, some NAS devices) do not support. - A.
