I am trying to network a Vista Home Premium laptop to my iBook OSX 10.4.10


Basically I was unable to connect from my PC running Vista to Windows sharing on my Mac -- doing the normal ipaddressusername and supplying username and password failed. Vista seemed convinced that I'd entered an invalid username and/or password, regardless of what I tried. After much searching, I found the solution in this thread on vista64.net's forums.

I have tried all the stuff in the guides I can find online

When I do the regedit workaround I cannot even see my iBook on the workgroup in Vista. I have tried it set at 1, 2 and 3 and no luck.

Any ideas?
