Hi,
I'm trying to connect to a server in the office by double clicking on it in
the Network window. We do not use a Domain in this office. Every time I try
to enter my user name and password the username is automatically prepended
with 'Barton-Vista\', and the login fails.

How do I get Vista to stop adding these words to the username?

Try appending the Server name to your login name

i.e. servername\username

Thanks for the help, but this did not work.

Anyone have any other ideas?

To enable Windows Vista to connect to Mac OS X with Windows File Sharing
enabled, you will need to change the following policy in Windows Vista:

1. Click the Start Orb, type gpedit.msc into the Start Search field, and
press Enter

Click the Continue button on the User Account Control prompt.
This will launch the Group Policy Object Editor for the Local Computer
Policy.

2. In the Group Policy Object Editor, expand:

- Computer Configuration
- Windows Settings
- Security Settings
- Local Policies
- Security Options
3. Open the 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level' policy and
change the Security Setting to:

Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated

4. Click the OK button to save changes, and then close the Group Policy
Object Editor.

Thanks for playing so nicely with others. God I hate Microsoft!

Thanks. Been trying to login for months
