Vista - Unable to UNC to a share on a Windows 2003 domain

recently installed build 5365 and have enjoyed it... this is whats happening
thus far

The machine is not a member of anything other than a workgroup. I try to
UNC to a domain share (Example: \\SERVER\SHARE) and I am continually being
prompted for authentication, I tried providing NETBIOSNAME\LOGINID and
password, that doesnt work. I tried FQDN@DOMAIN.COM and password and that
doesnt work...
1. I have turned off the firewall
2. Turned off UAC

I dont know what else it could be? Anyone?

"I try to UNC to a domain share (Example: \\SERVER\SHARE) and I am
continually being prompted for authentication"
You sure it shouldn't be \\DOMAIN\Username

There would have to be an account in the Domain with access to the share I
suspect to do this, you would then use \\DOMAIN\Username to authenticate get
access to share.

Correct... however it keeps prompting (says incorrect username/password) Im
telling ya its some form of protection (the firewall is off but I do notice
that if I open anything new it needs to add it to the firewall?!?).

Wierd.

Anyone else with this issue?

its some how Vista is blocking maybe udp/tcp 137-139 possibly which is
passing the credentials...

The strange part was it was working, and I have tested this on various
domains now.

I am not at work today, so I am unable to try this, may Zack will be able to
provide a useful response thank I did.

Have you tried adding the ports to the Windows Firewall you specified?
"udp/tcp 137-139 "

It seems to work fine here... instead of trying to connect to the server
name itself, go for the IP address and see if this helps. Does seem to be a
bug perhaps though. Make sure your servers have been notched up to accept
Windows 2000 and above though - can't remember off the top of my head, but
it's in Active Directory Users & Computers somewhere.

Zack,

yeah its not a DNS issue, it connects fine either way, just wont
successfully authenticate... Im very stressed about this as it appears
everything else is working... on the test machines you have are they stand
alone (not part of a domain) because that is what I am testing. These are
not member workstations to any domain just workgroup.

Windows 2000 and above though - can't remember off the top of my head, but

I thought you could only do this if you are setting up the domain for the
first time or a new forest?

No this is normal ability since NT days... its basically causes NT to prompt
for authentication when accessing a share on a domain...

I saw someone else reporting that kind of behavior/problem as new to
5365, specifically accessing domain-based server from workgroup-only
Vista 5365 machine.

I'm actually seeing that issue myself, within the workgroup, from
Vista to existing XP SP2 machines. If the credentials I've used for
logging into Vista 5365 don't transparently authenticate me to the
remote XP machine, sometimes the credentials are accepted in the
authentication prompt that comes up, but other times no amount of
correctly-entered credentials will succeed. If you set the Vista
username and password to match the necessary account information for
accessing the remote machine, it works every time without issue
(therefore not seeming to be any sort of "firewall" or "can't get
there from here with those credentials" issue).

This pure-workgroup scenario was new to 5365; i.e. I've been accessing
these same XP SP2 machines successfully (after being prompted for
authentication because the accounts normally don't match) in 5342 and
earlier.
