I can't thank you guys enough - this would explain why I have had the
authentication problem on one PC which was a fresh install of RC1, but not
with a laptop that was an upgrade from Beta 2 both using mapped drives on a
Maxtor Shared Storage Plus NAS!!

Jimmy,
I cant thank you enough for your speedy reply and detailed accurate
information.

You're welcome.

I knew it had to be some configuration in the way authentication was
setup,
i just cant believe that NTLM is not available as a subset to V2 to allow
Vista users to connect in that matter?

There are major security issues with lower versions ... anyone sniffing the
network could easily translate them into passwords.

You know, at least context sensitive help stating that i may have to
change
my security policy at XXX location in windows to complete my task (intro
hyperlink to secpol.msc)

I agree. I also think Windows should recognize when it's trying to
authenticate with a host that doesn't support the protocol it wants to use,
and ask you if you want to downgrade.

You saved the day my friend, much appreciated.
