it works fine on XP but I cannot access a samba share from Vista. It asks for user name & password but then still won't allow access. I have another samba server on the network which I am able to access and it doesn't ask for user/password..

Using ADS authentication BTW.
OK I found a fix on the Vista side. Theoretically Samba 3 should have this issue but nonetheless it fixed it for me.
If any of you are having problems with Vista logon to NAS devices running Samba, try:
Run secpol.msc
Go to: Local Policies > Security Options
Find "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level"
Change Setting from "Send NTLMv2 response only"
to
"Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated"
Vista defaults to only send the more secure NTLMv2 protocol, which these NAS devices / Samba do not support.
