You will find that you can only share the public folders and nothing
else using Omniclient. I think it is to do with Vista using NTLMv2 as
i stated above so if you have Business or Ultimate versions of Vista
you should try the above.
If you have Home/Home Premium then go to the Windows icon , open you
Network and then in then select Network and sharing Center. Make sure
that only Public Folder sharing is selected and not password protected
sharing.
If you go back to the Network window view then you will see a public
folder on the left hand side, click on that and you get a selection of
other folders and these are the ones that are shared.
On the RISc OS side something like this in Omniclient should connect
Name - Vista machine
Server Name - What ever your Vista machine is called
Directory path - USERS
User name - Guest
Password - Null
You will find that you get errors when trying to transfer but it does
work in a fashion.
