Windows Vista and Buffalo TerraStation
Friday, November 17, 2006 1:50 PM
One issue I came across during the Vista Beta cycle is that I couldn't connect to my Buffalo TerraStation HS without having to type in a username and password. It seems that Windows Vista wasn't passing my username and password to the TerraStation in the same way that Windows XP was.
The solution to this is very simple..
1. Run the Local Security Policy app - secpol.msc
2. Go to Local Policies | Security Options and choose the “Network Security: LAN Manager Authentican Level” item
3. Set it to “Send LM & NLTM, use NTMLv2 session if negotiated”
Hopefully this will help out anybody else who runs into the same issue.
