I recently purchased a network drive and created two shared folders on it one with a password one without. I have one XP machine and one Vista on the network, the drive works perfectly with XP, I can get straight onto the password protected folder no problem. I could access the unprotected folder in Vista but not the pass-worded one, I found out this was to do with the NTLM 2 protocol so I changed this to 1 from 3 in the registry (due to me having a home edition). I altered nothing else. The instant I changed this I had problems with accessing the NAS. It lets me get into either of the shared folders on the drive (even the password protected one!) then when I try to open one of the sub-folders it starts to load and carries on for about 10-15 minutes and never actually opens the folder. This is how far it will let me go before I cant access any further folders: Network > Net-drive > Web Anything beyond that and it just hangs while loading. If any one can make any sense of this please let me know what to do, I am absolutely tearing my hair out with this. Thank you in advance for any help. Rick
