I have 2 Vista machines just recently installed onto our NT network.
Everything appeared to work fine. After about a week or so, the Vista's
weren't able to access the shared drives on the network. This seems to be
related to a "authentication" issue on the NT or Vista. It doesn't happen on
a daily basis, just once in a while - usually when someone needs something.
Is there a fix i'm over looking? This is starting to become a problem.
Sometimes i can fix the problem by shutting down the vista machine or the
machine it happens to authenticate too - some times the vista doesn't
authenticate to the NT - I have had it go to the backup server(s) and even an
XP machine. Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks

This could be computer browser issue. Check any errors in the event viewer
no both NT and Vista. Please post back with the result.

Are you using ISP DNS? Posting the result of ipconfig /all may help.

No, we have an internal DNS. These machines are setup as DHCP which can be
seen. The 12.127.16.68 is AT&T's DNS if all else fails. Not sure where
the 10.0.0.25 is coming from but the 10.0.0.10 and the 10.0.0.250 are valid.

Is this just a case of removing the vista from the domain and rejoining
domain? Have not done that yet, but users are getting restless and if that
does solve the problem, how do i prevent it from happening in the future?

Sounds like authentication failure due to the Vista box not resolving the domain controllers properly.

Might want to run a netbios resolver cache flush on the vista box when this occurs to see if it will pick back up on it.

You can also try using Netbios over TCP/IP

Good idea, did not work. I've even gone to the step of static addresses and
still get the same results. The way i see this happening is the vista trys
to go to the share, the share verifies approval with the NT but someone along
the way says "no this isn't happening". The NT then Account Locks the user
profile, makeing additional attempts useless until i unlock the account.
I'm stumped. Is it a security issue within vista that needs to be changed?
These Vistas have worked fine for a few months and now they don't. Was there
an update to Vista which is causing this issue? All my XP's work fine so why
doesn't the Vistas? Sorry, getting frustrated.
Just would like to have an answer and be able to fix this problem.

Did you try different user accounts?

I know i had an issue in vista where a mapped drive would show up disconnected but when id try to open it up, it opened perfectly fine. So i didnt have to "fix" that but it sounds like a similar issue that perhaps there is a issue with keeping the connection alive to the mapping.


Post Originated from http://www.VistaForums.com Vista Support Forums

Yep, tried different user accounts - didn't work, even administrator didn't
work. Have noticed that with the XP's - explorer says disconnected network
drive. But once you select one it reconnects and life is great. Not so
with the Vistas. I have had in the past where the Vistas had a red X on the
mapped drive, but by selecting that drive it would open up. As of now, that
is not the case - won't let me get to the mapped/shared drives, thus my main
problem. To make this more interesting, 1 of the Vistas is an administrator
of the network like me and he can't get to the shares either. How do i
keep this connection alive or re-establish it when needed? Is it a security
issue? Appears to me authentication is being denied, but why? Like i said
before, it worked just fine for a while.
