Windows Vista has a couple extra required steps to work with an Ethernet Disk Mini/Big Disk.
Ethernet:
Windows networking fails to connect to the Ethernet Disk due to the version of samba on drive. Vista defaults to using NTLMv2 for its security policy. The drive uses Samba v.3.0.9, which only supports NTLM.
To fix this, the LAN Authentication level must be reconfigured using the "secpol" program to log in.
- Click Start, then Run (or press [windows button] + [R] on the keyboard), then type "secpol.msc" This should bring up the Security Policy system window.
- On the left, select Local Policies > Security Options.
- On the right, scroll down to and double-click on "Network Security: LAN Manager"
- Change the setting from "Send NTLMv2 Response only" to "Send LM & NTLM -- Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated"
You should now be able to connect without error.
FTP will work without any additional configuration.
USB:
The USB Logon program must be run as the Administrator. Right click the program and choose "Run as administrator..." The drive should work as expected.
