On some Windows 7 systems (not all in my experience), you'll need to
adjust the LAN Manager authentication level. To do this,
1. Launch *gpedit.msc*
2. Then under *Computer Management* drill down to *Windows
Settings*->*Security Settings*->*Local Policies*->*Security Options*
3. On the right hand side, scroll down to *Network security: LAN Manager
authentication level* and double-click it
4. In the drop down, select *Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session
security if negotiated*
I'm not sure sure what exactly causes some *just-built* Windows 7 PC's
to require this setting. For instance, on the network I manage, I'd say
that 30% of just-built Windows 7 PC's require this settings while others
function just fine when it is left as *Not Defined*!
Hope that helps you!
