Buffalo Forums

Our network has about 13 PC's accessing the tera station.  The only machine that cannot access it is my vista ultimate machine.  I have tried every combination of username/passwords domain admins, domain users, terastation admin,etc.  It will not authenticate.

I have read this post: http://forums.buffalotech.com/buffalo/board/message?board.id=0101&thread.id=644

And completed the steps mentioned in the post but it is still not working.  Any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue?

Are any of the other 13 PC's running Vista?  Or is it just one Vista PC?

I would try a share with no access restrictions.  Vista is going to be fussy with the NTLM authentication changes. You might need to do a regedit to change it.

I am the only machine running Vista.  Running without permissions and A/D integration is not an option.  We purchased this unit for exactly that reason. I am very surprised that a Buffalo Terastation still has Vista issues.  I have changed every possible registry option and any security policy change that I can find from google.

Our network consultants in 3 different countries did not recommend the Buffalo NAS's for precisely these type of issues.  A product that is unprooven and lacks enterprise capabilities despite being advertised as such. Buffalo has yet to prove themselves on an operating system that is 2.5 years old.  How can a international technology company be 2.5 years behind? 

To me this is a non-issues.  If a NAS box is not Vista capatible then it is worthless.  How can your product be expected to perform properly on future versions of Windows?  Are we forever stuck with XP if we want to use your NAS Box?

Forgive my anger and frustration I and several other of our IT personnel have been trying to resolve this issue for months.   Vista compatability should be a non-issue.  We have NAS Box's all over the world and this it the first to have this issue.  You will not be able to compete on an enterprise level if you cannot do something as simple as supporting the lastest MS OS.

Matasw,

 what firmware version do you currently have?

You can try these.

1. Turn off Windows Defender.

2. Goto Command Prompt and type net use. Delete unused mapped drives and connections.
