Causing NT to behave as 98 with LANMAN

[jared71]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make windows NT behave as if it were using LANMAN on the network, like a 98 machine. I have shares on a vms machine which I need to connect to from NT, but it currently only works with 98.

Any ideas.

HI!

I had similar problems when connecting to an old SAMBA server running on UNIX .
It was that NT didn't agree to send the login credentials in clear text, as was required by the old SAMBA.
The solution was to upgrade the SAMBA or to change the registry on the NT machines, I did the second even so it is less secure.

Try this on your NT machine:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001


And here is a Win9X version, in case you also have problems with win98/ME:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001



Bye
