Hello,
I have a Debian Server With Samba 3.0.24 installed, I created a set of shares so these shares require the user to supply a password without a user name, this worked well on windows XP, On windows Vista a dialog appears asking for a user name and a password. I googled the problem and I found that I had to change the LANManeger authentication level to 'LM & NTLM-use NTLMv2 Session if negotiated', but its not working on Vista, When I use the command 'net use z: \\nas\IT *' everything works well, what I want is to make Vista prompt for a password without a username.
And Here's my samba configuration:

[global]
netbios name = nas
idmap gid = 2000-3000
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
idmap uid = 1000-2000
path = /srv
force directory mode = 777
force create mode = 777
os level = 20
security = share
create mode = 777
wins support = true
directory mode = 777
domain master = yes


[Public]
username = puser
force user = puser
write list = puser
read list = puser
writeable = yes
path = /srv/public



[Ground School]
username = gschool
force user = gschool
read list = gschool
write list = gschool
writeable = yes
path = /Share/GS

[Flight School]
username = fschool
force user = fschool
write list = fschool
read list = fschool
writeable = yes
path = /Share/FS

[IT]
username = amer
force user = amer
write list = amer
read list = amer
writeable = yes
path = /Share/IT

Thanks in Advance
