Map a Network Drive on Vista Premium on Network Attached Storage (

Hi, this is going to be a bit long, but I need to describe the whole
scenario, so that I can get assistance quite quickly and easily.

I work in an office that runs a network which is comprised of:
Network Attched Storage (NAS200) device, a Gigabit Switch, 3 Desktop PC's, 3
Laptops, all running Windows XP Pro. Up until now we have not had any issues
with our setup, and connecting all the machines, printers etc. All the users
have user names and passwords that match those created on the NAS device
(accessed via IE Browser) and everything corresponds, using the fixed IP
address of the NAS device.

The workgroup name for the NAS storage device matches ALL the machines in
the office's workgroup.

Yesterday we purchased 2 HP Pavillion DV9690EI Laptops, running Vista Home
Premium. These were set up with user names and passwords that match the user
names and paswords for the 2 laptops being replaced.

I have so far succeeded in getting the HP laptops to use the IP addresses of
the laptops that are no longer on the network. The Hp's are receiving the
shared internet connection from the machine in IP Address 1. The HP's also
show that there is traffic on the network, as the connection I created
displays this traffic clearly, and the switch picks the HP's up at a Gigabit
speed.

The only thing I am battling with is mapping the NAS device's network drives
for the HP machines. I am not very familiar with Vista, and am not sure if I
am doing anything wrong, and if there are setting that I am not using
correctly. Can someone please talk me through this, or let me know of any
compatability issues that exist for the set up I have described above.

Thanks in advance.

It could be NTLMv2 issue. Check this search result.
