We use a shared hardrive which has been setup as a WORKGROUP. All users
accessing this have user name and password which is administrated through SME
server. Most users on Win98 and some XP, no problem all connect fine. However
my Vista RC1 can see the WORKGROUP computer and displays login window but
fails to connect suggesting I check user name and password are correct which
I know they are. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Richard.
