I used till yesterday the RTM Version of Vista ultimate. Tonight i've
installed Vista ultimate final, the versione came out on 01/31.

With booth versions (RTM and final) i got some problems accessing my mac. I
can ses it on the network (same workgroup) but when it asks me user name and
password, vista tells me authentication failed, and there is no way to enter
into my mac.

I don't know how but with the RTM version i solved the problem (maybe i've
changed some setting in controll pannel, how remember?),SO IT'S POSSIBLE,
but now, with this final version i got the same problem.

Anyone else had this problem and can tell me how to solve it?

thanks

To enable Windows Vista to connect to Mac OS X with Windows File Sharing
enabled, you will need to change the following policy in Windows Vista:

Start>Run>secpol.msc [enter]

Click on "Local Policies" --> "Security Options"

Navigate to the policy "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication
level" and double-click it to get its Properties. By default Windows
Vista sets the policy to "NTVLM2 responses only". Use the drop-down
arrow to change this to "LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if
negotiated".

In Vista Home Premium, you won't have this tool so per Steve Winograd, do:

1. Run the registry editor and open this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa

1. If it doesn't already exist, create a DWORD value named
LmCompatibilityLevel

3. Set the value to 1

4. Reboot

Naturally you will have already created identical usernames and
passwords on both machines.

Thanks a lot Malke, i'm not at home right now, but as soon as i'll came back
i'll give it a try.
BUT, with vista RTM i did nothing of what you told me to do. One day i was
just trying to login and boom, i was logged in without (apparently) nothing
done....

Well, all I can tell you is that I had spotty networking with my Linux
boxen and Vista all through the many betas (sometimes it worked and
sometimes it didn't) and now w/RTM I had to do the first thing above to
get interoperability with my MacBook. So I expect Things Changed in RTM,
as they so often do.

I'm glad to hear you got it sorted. Thanks for taking the time to let me
know.
