OK, I've tred this, and the other suggestions on this page. I've gotten part of the way...

Let me explain my situation. The office has MacOS9, MacOSX (10.4), Win2k, WinXP and now one Vista machine,all sharing a common Ethernet. A MacMini is set up as a backup disc, with a number of folders for other people to backup files to. It also runs FileMaker Server 5.5 (which works perfectly on TCP/IP over Ethernet, including on Vista).

All machines except the Vista machine work as they are supposed to. They can access various folders on the MacMini depending on how their permissions are set in the MacMini. Vista (after tweaking LAN Manager as described here) can now get into the Mac, but ONLY into folders set to allow access to Everyone. All the other machines can access specific folders depending on how access permissions are set, and other machines are defined in specific groups accordingly. Sales can only access one group of folders, Management can access everything, etc.

Obviously I want to lock all the folders on the MacMini so that they can only be accessed by clients with the right user name/password, but I can't get Vista to do that.

Since I can see the MacMini folders and access the ones that are fully open, I cheerfully admit that the problem seems to be in the MacMini settings, but unfortunately I still can't resolve it...

If anyone has any suggestions of something to try I would appreciate it.
