So the Vista system can see the Linux system and other network connectivity is OK?

Can you ping the Vista system from the Linux system?

There are some changes in Vista regarding SMB.

I'm not clear what you are trying to do - just access shares on the Vista system? Why would you need a root login to do this? Are you sure File and Print sharing is turned on in the Vista system?

Can you ping the Vista system from the Linux system?
yes i can and when i use the AutoScan Network 1.42 i can access thru Nautilus the share folder temporary.
But the i need to mount permanent windows share on both linux machine so i can use the share them in ftp server on linux
I need access to both Linux machines to var/

For printing, best bet is to set up Samba to print via CUPS. Set the printer queue up in CUPS to use a RAW data stream to the appropriate port.

If you are running DHCP on all these machines, they need a way to find each other, since IP addresses may change. Check content of /etc/nsswitch.conf.

In /var/log/samba/ there will be a bunch of log files. I'd check these to see if you can see any errors popping up when you try to connect in both directions.
