Networks

Hi
I have the exact same problem. It is driving me crazy and it is only the Vista machine who struggles, the other XP machines works just fine.
I'm able to ping and remote the server and that works fine.

I have a SBS 2003 server on the other side of the VPN tunnel and I've changed the authentication level of security in local policies so the server sends both LM and NTLM responses (set to only NTLM by default). On the Vista machine I changed to the same values and nothing..
I've tried to map in the cmd prompt and nothing..
I've tried to map using both server name and IP adress and nothing..
I've tried to search for the server in the find field and nothing..

The error message only says that the path is can not be founded.

I'm out of ideas

I have read that many people are expiriencing the same problem, all with the sam symptoms and all with pretty much the same suggestions but NO ONE with a solution. Isnt there NOBODY who actually fixed this?
If so PLEASE post the solution. Would be mostly much very mucho eternally appreciated.
Thanx for posting!

1. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit.exe in the Programs list.
If you are prompted for the administrator password or for a confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\netbt\Linkage
3. On the File menu, click Export.
4. In the Save box, specify a location where you want to save the file.
5. In the File name box, enter a name for the file.
6. In the Save as type box, click Registry Files.
7. In the Export range box, click Selected branch, and then click Save.
8. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\netbt\Linkage
9. In the details pane, right-click the Bind registry entry in the Name column, click Modify, and then copy the data in the Value data box to the clipboard.
10. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\smb\Linkage
11. In the details pane, right-click the Bind entry in the Name column, click Modify, paste the data from the clipboard to the Value data text box to override the original data, and then click OK.
12. Exit Registry Editor, and restart the computer

I can't say this will fix the problem but is fast and simple so worth a shot. Open the Local Security Policy, select Local Policies, Security Options. Look for Network Security LAN Manager Authenicate Level and change it to Set to Send LM & NTLM responses. Not sure I have everything worded a 100% correctly but that should get you there.
Good luck.
