hi,
Windows Vista's Explorer fast queries a Samba drive my NAS doesn't support
this how can I switch back to the XP way (without reverting back to XP) i.e.
slow query a samba drive?



this is not the NTLMv2 two issue I have set vista to use LM and NTLM.

the issue I see is that Vista can see the device and see empty directories
but if they contain files it locks up windows explorer!

Thanks

Anyone?

Welcome to the club. :-) I'm looking for a solution to the same issue, I have
two NAS boxes of different brands, and so far, no joy. It's looking like I'll
have to replace them with Vista compatible boxes.

The issue is the version of SAMBA on the boxes, but neither of mine have an
update available. :-(
