Just a note in case anyone else runs into this problem. If you want to connect to a share on a Buffalo Terastation (which seems to be using Samba) from a Windows Vista installation, you need to do the following:
- Run the Local Security Policy app - secpol.msc
- Go to Local Policies | Security Options and choose the "Network Security: LAN Manager Authentican Level" item
- Set it to "Send LM & NLTM, use NTMLv2 session if negotiated"
And that should sort you out. [Update] For those of us unlucky enough to be running Vista Home (which doesn't come with secpol), you can do the following (thanks to Patrick in the comments for this)
- Run regedit (Windows-R, 'regedit') to open the registry editor
- Find key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\
- Change the value for the option "LMCompatibilityLevel" from 3 to 1.
Now you should be able to access the TeraStation (you may need to reboot). [tags]vista, terastation, nas, buffalo, samba, [/tags]
