Network connect problem.
I am running windows 7 on the network and windows 2008. The two computers can see each other. I can ping both machines. But I connect see the windows 2008 on windows 7 in Network. I am seeing my computer and one other workstation. How can I see the server in network? The saver is not running active directory. It is a workgroup setup. For more information when I try to map the drive on the server it is giving me an error saying windows cannot access the IP address of the server. Thank you. Joseph

Hi, Let us do the following tests. Method 1. Please disable IPv6 protocol for a test. Method 2. Enable Network Discovery by using Group Policy Editor. 1. Open Group Policy Editor. 2. Expand "Computer Configuration", "Windows Settings", "Security Settings", "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security", and then "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security - {policy you have open}". 3 Right-click "Inbound Rules", and then click "New Rule". 4 In the Rule Wizard, on the Rule Type page, select"Predefined", and then select Network Discovery from the list. Click Next. 5 On the Predefined Rules page, ensure that the check box is on each rule that is part of the Network Discovery group, and then click Next. 6 On the Action page, select "Allow the Connection", and then click Finish. Method 3. Configure NTLM authentication level 1. Click Start, type in Secpol.msc and press Enter. 2. Expand "Local Policies" and select "Security Options" 3. Locate "Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level" in the list and double-click it. 4. Change the setting from "Send NTLMv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session if negotiated" 5. Network Security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP Based (including secure RPC) Clients 6. Change the setting from "require 128 bit" to unchecked (No Minimum) 7. Click OK, and exit.Kim Zhou TechNet Community Support
