Hi Nima,

Without looking at your code, it's hard to say what the problem could
be. Things to think about:

Do your other credentialed Nessus checks work against your Vista system?

Which SMB libraries are you using?

Is your Vista system part of a domain? Maybe the security policy is too
tight too allow remote access.

What sort of errors or logging do you see in your event log? If you are
attempting to access a certain type of file, maybe you can enable
auditing for the file and see what shows up in the event log.
