I found the instruction on the net on how to set it using NTLMv2 and refuse
the other two.

That resulted in my having to log in to my NAS server, which I initially
only had to do the first time around.  Not much of a big deal, since the
XP-64 box always asks for the login info.

But, trying to connect to the F25 server now results in network path not
being found.  But, when I dismiss that error dialog and try again, then
all it does is present me with the login GUI.

When I try this with my XP-64 box, the same thing happens, in that it
just presents me with the login GUI.  I did not change the NTLMv2 setting
on that box.
