I am trying to connect to a computer/server on our network using existing creditials (which work correctly on my Macbook Pro). The server is running Windows Server 2000 and my machine is running Windows 7 Professional with XP mode installed. In Windows 7 explorer, I can "see" the server (can ping it and get IP address) in the list, but my credentials do not "work" to get me access to the machine. Thinking this might be a compatibility issue with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2000, I then installed xp mode and opened it. However in XP mode, I cannot "see" (cannot find it with a ping in the command prompt) any of the network computers--unless they have been previously mapped in Windows 7 explorer... So the big questions are: 1. How do I view the network in XP mode? 2. Or is it possible to map / connect to this Windows Server 2000 computer via Windows 7 Professional? Here is Microsoft's page on Group Policies... They leave out mention of Windows Server 2000. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=18c90c80-8b0a-4906-a4f5-ff24cc2030fb&displaylang=en Also: I have already tried to change in my local security policies to "send LM & NTLM responses." Please help!

Hi, If you want to let Windows XP Mode view the network, you can set networking of XP mode: 1 Open Windows XP mode 2 Click “Tools” on the top of Windows Virtual PC and click “Settings” 3 Click “Networking’ on the left of pane, and set Adapter 1 to local network adapt “Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Enternet” 4 Click “OK” Then go to Windows XP mode, in Windows XP, you can follow these steps to view the network: 1 Open “My computer” 2 Click “My Network Place” on left pane 3 Click “view workgroup computers” 4 Click “Microsoft Windows Network” Thus, you can view the network in Windows XP mode And about question 2, this link maybe helpful to you: http://www.tannerwilliamson.com/2009/09/windows-7-seven-network-file-sharing-fix-samba-smb/ Refer to above link to make sure the “Require NTLMv2 session security” and “Require 128-bit encryption” checked. Also try adding a DWORD value of "LmCompatibilityLevel" with a value of "1" to: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa It won't exist so you'll have to make it. Restart machine and you should be good to go. Hope it helps.
