LAN network created by DSL-Router AVM FritzBox 7270.
One LAN client - windows xp pro sp3
One WLAN client - vista business 32bits sp1

USB mass storage connected to router. Router shares the drive
using samba server. Win xp has no problems while accessing this drive.
Vista can access the drive only if it is not protected by password.

What network setting is the vista pc missing ?

Think those settings will solve your problem, but will degrade security
(as for authentication goes).

The other option (upgrade samba on device) is like:

1.) Make backup from routers mtd partitions.
2.) Get OpenWRT kamikaze from SVN
3.) Configure it.
4.) Patch Samba.
5.) Compile
6.) Flash router and pray.
7.) If you lucky telnet in set it up via nano,vi or your favourite text
editor, if not so lucky get familiar with device's bootloader (think it
is ADAM2 as most AR7 based routers) in worst case scenario prepare your
JTAG cable to be use.

So while first option is degrade security, second option has a nice
chance to degrade router to 'brick'. Unless you know what you doing i
would choose 1st.

I asked the manufacturer for NTLM issue.
It was the customer support.
They claim my router supports NTLM as well as NTLMv2.
They claim also the reason is some where in my vista networking settings.
Not the router itself.


There are no official procedure for updating the SMB server.
One can update the whole firmware only.
I avoid patching the router soft as long as the guarantee doesn't expire.

Checked( WLAN 7270 Firmware Version 54.04.57 ) GPL'd source code and
they has samba 3.0.24 (with Vista NTLMv2 patches (not checked all the
patched lines though)) so it should really work out of the box. But
wondering if you set the the options in my previous post it fixes the
problem or not?

Your suggestion is too risky for me.
Guarantee not yet expired.
