Vista - Vista and Linux

Has anyone had any luck connetcing a Linux machine to Vista
within the same subnet?

I have tried Suse 10, Federa Core 5 and Ununtu 6.06. even knowing the
user name and password of the Vista machie, I can't get connetced.

thanks

What kind of connection? Are you using the LINUX samba as a PDS? I have a
Mandrake 2006 box that is sharing a printer. I can see it on the network
panel and attach the printer (have not printed successfully yet). I don't
have any file shares setup right now, but plan on testing a USB Hard Disk
shared from the Linux Server.

Cheers,
Brian

Are you using explorer to view the shares on the machines ? Can you view the
shares on the Linux machine when you \\<linux_machine> in the explorer
window ?

If you are using the command line - please post the output of this -
net use \\linux_machine\share_name /user:<username>
<prompts for the password>
send the output of the command.

Are the machines in the same workgroup or are they on a domain ?

If possible, a network capture with Netmon would be useful.
