Red face Vista & DLink NAS
Running Vista Beta 2. All seems fine accept I can not logon to my DLink DNS-300 Attached storage. The user & pass are perfect I can verify this from any number of WinXP machines on the same network. I've created new accounts on the NAS as well. Vista will allow me admin access into the control panel of the DNS-300 via IE & Firefox but reports an error when I try any of the user accounts as a user. It seems to insert the machine id infront of my user name & I think the DNS-300 doesn't like this. ie MYLAPTOP\MYNAME when my logon is MYNAME.

Any ideas anyone? Has anyone had problems connecting to NAS from vista?

Whats the NAS device name?

Maybe you could try NAS Devicename\Username or NAS device IP\Username

I'm not very familiar with NAS, but can you just disable the password protection/user accounts temporarily to allow access from Vista?

(I'm not sure if that even makes sense, I've never used NAS before. )

dns-300 and vista
I've got the same problem. seems to be a dlink issue. I can connect to windows shares, and my linksys nslu2 NAS, just not the dlink. I've got an email in with dlink, but dont have a lot of confidence that I will get an answer. It seems they dont sell the DNS-300 in many countries, and not having a large audience, I cant see new firmware coming in a hurry.

Good luck getting anything out of them via phone or email. I have to hang up every time in frustration talking to those knuckleheads.

I can't see why you need any special considerations for that box. I have the Hawking HNAS1 box on my network, and Vista is able to access it without any issues.

Glad to see its not just me!
I never resolved this problem with connecting to my DNS-300 from Vista. I still today connect from my adjacent Laptop with XP then fileshare from XP to Vista. For some reason vista seems to send a slightly different login request than XP. Enough to be rejected. I can't see any solution. When I'm all Vista I may have to retire it.

Thanks for all the advice.

When Vista comes out DLink will most likely release a firmware upgrade to make it compatible. But for now, you're stuck.

You have to lower the authentication level Vista uses. Most NAS devices use a simple Samba server.

Run secpol.msc

Under Local Policies > Security Options

Change the value of "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" from "NTVLM2 responses only" to "LM and NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated"

JohnWill,

I've been searching all over trying to find info on how somebody has connected to a Hawking HNAS1 with Vista. I am not running RC1 on one partition and cannot connect to the HNAs1. Vista sees it... but that's it. If I try conecting I get a Remote Procedure Call protocol error has ocurred.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I'm still running a slightly older Vista version, build 5635, haven't gotten around to regenerating it. The HNAS1 works fine with that build.

One thing comes to mind, I've left my Hawking HNAS1 wide open, i.e. no security, kinda' like a USB drive. Easier to deal with, and I don't have security issues inside my network.

I looked at the several of the other NAS units, and the ones that require you to load their software to access them will probably be problematic under Vista until the drivers get updated. I refuse to even consider such a box for use here, I want SMB access with no software on the individual systems.

I recently had the same issue with Vista Business Edition. I had already done everything mentioned in this thread, and after reading it - the thought occurred to me to log in with the following format: $username@$NASname and then the password. For some reason that method worked even though $NASname\$username and then the password did not work. Maybe give that a shot?

Thanks Tech B!
secpol.msc with your directions worked for my connection issue with the Hawking NAS (HNAS1) v1.02(06-07-2005)-ext3.
I had to map using the IP address \\192.168.x.x\sharename

Thanks!!!!
