And not only all of this awfulness, but check it:
Every last one of the CIFS-aware network appliances that I use both
at home and at the office, which amounts to about 11 hunks of hardware
totalling about 4 terabytes cannot, and WILL not connect to Vista.
Why?
Because they do not understand what the LLTD protocol is, which Vista
requires to be recognized by the target device. It's easy enough to download
a patch for XP machines to solve this problem from microsoft, so that you can
share between XP and Vista...but network storage devices? Nope.
Also, for those of you using Netapps (I know I know, not around here you're
not), NA won't be coming out with an LLTD module for at least a few weeks,
so don't upgrade shit until you get it and you know it works.
