Vista - Connecting to a Network Attached Storage device

I am having the same problem. I have followed the steps you said, but I have
a problem.

When I click Start, Control Panel, System and Maintenance, Administrative
Tools, this is as far as I can go. I am not able to find the Local Security
Policy. Here is what I have.

Computer Management
Data Sources
Event Viewer
iSCSI Initiator
Memory Diagnostics Tool
Reliability and Performance Monitor
Services
System Configuration
Task Scheduler
Windows Firewall with Advanced Security

Please advise how to continue since the Local Security Policy isn't showing
up.

Thanks.

The better solution is to upgrade your NAS device -- this happens on
Samba-based NAS boxes running a version of Samba earlier than 3.0.22.
First, contact the manufacturer for an update to a later version of Samba.

If they don't have an update available, then the above post is a good
workaround. Since you don't have secpol.msc (Home versions don't), run
regedit.exe and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LMCompatibilityLevel.
By default, this is 0x3; change it to 0x1.

I was trying to use this solution, but my local security policy Network
Security: Lan Manager Authentication is grayed out. I tried using the local
administrator account and my domain administrator account. I am doing R&D on
Vista Enterprise for our company. Any ideas?
