Re: Vista Home Premium and Samba

After many unsuccessfull attempts with regedit (as that would solve all
my problems!), I managed to connect to my linux-based samba server from
Vista Home Premium by entering the IP address of the server instead of
the name.

I guess I have something non-configured on the server...

So, I just map the drive normally, but instead of
\\servername\sharename
I use \\a.b.c.d\sharename where a.b.c.d is the ipaddress.

Good luck!
