vista client pc on domain cannot access networked attached storage

I have a windows 2003 active dir domain and most of the clients pcs are
winxp. I have now introduced a new vista pc and whilst it can join the
domain ok and can access most resources, there is an issue with a NAS box .
I am using windows AD permissions for the NAS and all the XP clients can
login without any trouble. However, when I login using the Vista pc , a
login box appears to input the username / password which it does not using
XP and when I enter the user details, I get login incorrect.
Is there some setting I need to enable in Vista to allow this login to be
achieved and hopefully seamless without the login box ?

Most NAS devices run some version of embedded Linux. Earlier versions of
Samba (the protocol that allows traffic between *nix and Windows boxen)
aren't compatible with Vista. Check with the NAS mftr. for updated firmware
and/or any workarounds.
