Fortunately, there are two ways to fix this problem. The first is just
to force Vista to use the NTLM protocol as well as NTLM2. To do that,
use these commands:

Click "Start -> Run." Then, type in the Run field: "secpol.msc." That
will bring you to Vista's security policy system. Once there, use "Go
to: Local Policies > Security Options" and then find "Network Security:
LAN Manager" authentication level. Once there, change the Setting from
"Send NTLMv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM -- use NTLMv2 session
security if negotiated."

The better long-term solution is to upgrade any of your Samba servers to
3.0.22 or higher, since they can handle NTLMv2.
