[Samba] vista and samba 2.2.8?

[peter pilsl]

I run a 2.2.8-samba as fileserver and PDC for a small network with NT4- and 
XP-clients.

Now I've got a vista-machine and want to access shares on the server (not 
joining the domain), but whatever I try: vista tells me all the time that the 
login is incorrect.

I tried all the usual combinations like server\username, username, 
\\server\username ...

Is there a general problem with vista and old sambas or do just I have a funny 
problem here?

upgrading to a recent 3.x-version is not an option at the moment.

thnx,
peter
