Default SimpleTech Network Drive Password Wont Work In Vista


Hello, I have a SimpleTech network drive on my network. At one time
when I used XP on my machine I can map the drive as you would usually
map a password protected drive - No problem. Now I have Vista on my
machine & I try to map a password protected drive, it will fail.
I believe it has to do with some type of security functionality &
here's why...If the drive has a portion password protected, I can
navigate over to it & click on it. It will then request a username &
password. I enter both in & it will always fail to log into it - I
can't see it. But...If that portion has no security, I can navigate to
the portion, click on it & it opens right up. I can map that to my
machine also - No problemo! So, I'm quite sure it has something to do
with maybe Vista's firewall that I just don't understand yet, but
that's just a suspicion.

I call it "Portion" because it is like a partition on the network
drive.
Any ideas on this?

Thanks,
---roystreet
