Hi Guys,

I have a little problem trying to log on to my linux server on my windows
2003 network, using a Vista Basic PC.

The others PC using XP Pro and XP home are able to apen the linux server and
log on succesfully.

When I click twice on the icon thw usual window asking the user and
password. Allways receive the same message,,, invalid user or password.

could somebody help me?

This is because on Vista Microsoft has changed the default Authentication
level.
Go to
Start / Control Panel / Administrative tools / Local Security Policy / Local
Policies / Security Options /

Network security: LAN manager authentication level. Change this to Send LM &
NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated

Hope this helps

Dave

Hi Dave,

Thanks a lot for your support !

but I can't find the options for Local Security Policy

Start / Control Panel / Administrative tools / Local Security Policy / Local
Policies / Security Options /

It is possible that these options are not on Vista Home Basic?

I am still looking for...

Thanks,
Marco

You won't have secpol.msc on Vista Basic. Instead:

1. Run the registry editor and open this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa

2. If it doesn't already exist, create a DWORD value named
LmCompatibilityLevel

3. Set the value to 1

4. Reboot

A better solution is to make sure the Samba server on the Linux box is up to
date then enable NTLMv2 authentication on it.
