Note

For certain versions of Vista and Windows 7, Microsoft changed the default security profile for NTLM authentication, this in effect breaks Samba.

To fix this problem, follow these steps:

1. Select Start > Run and type secpol.msc.

2. Navigate to Local Policies > Security Options

3. Right Click "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" and select Properties.

4. Select "Local Security Settings".

5. Change the Policy to "Send LM & NTLM - user NTLMV2 session security if negotiated".

6. Click OK and quite the Security Policy Editor.

7. Log out and then back in or reboot your system.

You should now be able to access your Samba shares and printers.

hope this note can help you.
