I can't log onto Windows 7 from Linux
Hi, I need to be able to run a net use command and then run software from a share on my Windows 7 Ultimate PC on my Linux PC. It keeps telling me that access is denied. I have tried several thing in group policies and in the registry and nothing seems to make any difference. The worked fine on Vista and XP.Thanks, Ted

In general situations, although the connections disconnect after a while, it should be able to reconnect if you launch it. In this case you may need to change the NTLM authentication level. Please refer the following website.
Network security: LAN Manager authentication level
The policy is:
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Network security: LAN Manager authentication level
Please change “Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated”.
If your system is Windows 7 Home Premium, you may change it from Registry.
1. Launch regedit from Start Search box.2. Find the following branch. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
3. Create a DWORD key under Lsa and set:
Name: LmCompatibilityLevel Value: 1
4. Restart.
