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

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\Control\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.
