xp is easy to get working. in vista, i can see the server in the network folder. i can't logon to it. vista appears to send the machine name appended to the user name (ie: machine\userid). any ideas??


we would like to keep our os/2 servers to save several thousand dollars. our two dozen clients can't stay on ecs any longer due to flash 9. we've been live testing xp and vista. ecs runs well and easily installs in microsoft virtual pc. we only need ecs in a virtual machine in the accounting department since we don't trust windows to manage money with.

Hello wesco,

I will look into this, but it wouldn't hurt if someone else try it out too.


============
shhh...

Sorry guys, I'm gonna do a SAB, say something, yet nothing, though in less words. Hmm, a SAB/2 perhaps?!   ???

An elf whispered in my ear that "lightning" will likely strike us in a while

so if you keep your customers on eCS they won't have to do the switch.  ;D

PS.
SAB: Is it obvious what I've written?
Don't do try it at home!

very funny actually.

we have 24 workstation clients in our network. we're in the electronics industry. one manufacturer went to autodesk for the service manuals instead of PDF. another, this is the one we can't work around, started using flash 9 as a portal application for documents, bulletins,and parts account.

i've been concerned for sometime that adobe reader elements would be combined with flash thus creating a proprietary platform of sorts. serenity systems is useless.

so the original question stands does anyone know how to log onto shares from a vista client?

progress.

the actual problem involves the password. i can create a non password protected account on the Warp Server that works great with vista!!!!!!!!!!!!! our technicians never have had password protected user accounts here.

hell who cares about securing sony dvd service manuals or toshiba lcd tv manuals, plamsa etc.?

network printer works great.

next test.  virtual pc on vista! will need an eCS machine to administer the server at our two locations and one in accounting. no money matters on windows!!!

i went from dos five to os/2 2.x in 1992. i've used windows vista ultimate only three months straight recently. you know it is really really nice to have things simply work. i can't believe the multimedia  i've been missing.

el vato will appreciate the platonic out of the cave notion! this light is bright.
