   We had a hell of a time with Samba when Vista first came out.  If you
   can make any changes on the Vista side, this link might help:

     Early adopters of Microsoft's new Vista operating system may notice
     that it will not connect to Samba share folders out of the box.  This
     will be a bit of a pain for many enterprise customers.  The technical
     reason is because Microsoft Vista's default security policy is to only
     use NTLMv2 authentication.

   Current versions of Samba handle Vista fine.  We use this in our
   smb.conf file:

     # If you're using Vista
      client NTLMv2 auth = Yes
      client lanman auth = Yes
      client plaintext auth = Yes
      use spnego = Yes
      client signing = auto
      server signing = auto
      client use spnego = Yes
      client schannel = Auto
      server schannel = Auto
