Re: Vista adds computername\ to username

Posted: 09-19-2008, 08:40 PM

i had this problem with vista home premium on both computers in the
network. First, I was denied permission to access. I added a password
protected user to the host computer. Then I turned on all file sharing
permissions in host's network and sharing center. I added a password to
the "guest" computer's user log-on. I think it was at this point that I
could get to a log-on, and it gave me that prefix "computer name/user
name" problem. I then went to the guest computer's network and sharing
center, and turned sharing on for the public folder. After that, I was
able to log on to the host computer. I don't know why, that's what
happened.

Vista adds computername\ to username
Posted: 01-19-2009, 04:56 AM
I'm trying to log into a freeNAS box SMB share which requires a username and
password. When I enter the username and password, Windows changes it to
[computername]\username which prevents me from logging in. Is there any way
to prevent this? I have tried changing the "Network security: LAN
> manager authentication level" setting to no avail.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
