Q:
Vista laptop won't recognize Window 2000 Server network
Windows Vista, Windows 2000 Server, Mapped drives, Network drives, Windows XP, Vista compatibility
Hello,
I'm having a great deal of trouble getting a laptop with Vista Home Premium to recognize our network (and map a network drive). We have Windows 2000 Server here with many XP Pro laptops, but this is the first Vista. I've tried turning off the firewall, disabling antivirus, everything. I have internet access, but can't seem to map a network drive. It says "The account is not authorized to log in from this station."

Can you help me?

Thanks,

Ed

Question??
"I have Internet access"

Do you mean by this that you have access to the Internet through your network/router, or if you hook the vista laptop to an Internet connection you have Internet access?

My first thought here is to make sure that within TCP/IP settings of your network card, you have IPv6 disabled.

Thanks Limbo, but I have finally figured it out. It was an SMB signing issue. I needed to make this change in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServiceslanmanworkstationparameters

enablesecuritysignature [REG_DWORD] = 0×0

Cheers,
Ed
