network hard drive vs. vista

managed to get my network hard drive mapped in *blech* vista *blech* *wipes mouth with back of hand* thanks to the hard work of others. this guy told me the right setting to crowbar into the registry as well as the 'net use' command, since the smiley-face, hand-holding "Map Network Drive..." still won't work. ('the thing i like about windows is not having to use that command line thingy...' harumph!) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LMCompatibilityLevel from a 3 to a 1 net use Z: \\I-drive\Share password /USER:username /PERSISTENT:YES now i just need to figure out whether i should use ftp+fuse or smbmount on my linux box.
