Just to be clear, your customer has a Windows 7 box with USB HD

can connect to the share, but Windows Vista cannot.
I'm supposing
a) they have tried using the same login credentials on Vista as W7
b) Vista comes back that it can't reach the share without other error
messages
c) these machines are on the same network and going through the same routers
d) if using domains, etc. that they are using the same

This group is the best! TNX for taking time for my issues.
Paul, I visited with the customer but have not had "hands on" time. You
have given me four things to go test. Yes, the USB HD is connected to
the W7 box. You have read my problem statement correctly.
a) Wherein are the credentials established? Mind you I am confusing
Win98, WinNT, Samba2, Samba3, WinXP and now Vista, W7 :) I don't know
that I have seen the same combination of credentialization in more than
one place.
b) Have not seen the actual error messages. Customer is not real
sophisticated about reporting error messages (like most). Specific "it
doesn't work." Time to get more general...
c) oh yeah, we're talking 3 computers within one LAN.
d) pretty sure there is no domain / PDC yada, yada, yada. Strictly
file and printer shares.
Yes Mike, looking for the group name is good practice. Again, no hands
on time yet. I've even seen this with Samba2 and Samba3 in a linux only
environment.
Thanks for the pointers. I'll be back :)
