Check your windows event logs and make sure that you have auditing turned on, on all computers involved. If you're getting an error like you say, it should show up in the security log of the 03 server. Be careful to scan for any events in the app/sys/security log on the computers involved. Try "net use" from a command prompt and see if you have any connections to the 03 server using a different account (can't connect with two different identities to the same server from a single client) before you try to connect to the share.

i will look into that also i have just tried to log in to a sharepoint team site hosted on the server today from the win 7 machine and it will not allow me to log in either but again i can log in to the sharepoint site from my laptop running win vista

i am not seeing the error in the event log but i an not sure exactly what it should say i do have huge logs and many errors in them but none that look like what i am having issue with i did "net use" in cmd prompt and it said there are no entries in the list i am suspecting that its a issue on the win 7 end as i can do everything just fine from other computers even vista witch i believe is same architecture as win 7 or am i wrong there aswell i dont try to be a know it all i just try to learn as much as possible along the way :)

I suggest you use the Network Monitor to capture the network traffic, it could help you find which step failed. You can download the Network Monitor from: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=4865 Regards, MiyaThis posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. | Please remember to click "Mark as Answer" on the post that helps you, and to click "Unmark as Answer" if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

i installed it on the win 7 pc i think this is what i needed to find but dont know how to fix it please any one who can help i am still without communication between my main pc and my server it is showing a domain of "game" which i never set it to a domain just a work-group is this where my problem is ? 94 2:48:07 PM 6/23/2011 17.8882548 System GAME CBTB-SERVER- SMB SMB:C; Session Setup Andx, NTLM NEGOTIATE MESSAGE {SMBOverTCP:15, TCP:14, IPv4:13} 95 2:48:07 PM 6/23/2011 17.8888542 System CBTB-SERVER- GAME SMB SMB:R; Session Setup Andx, NTLM CHALLENGE MESSAGE - NT Status: System - Error, Code = (22) STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED {SMBOverTCP:15, TCP:14, IPv4:13} 96 2:48:07 PM 6/23/2011 17.8890960 System GAME CBTB-SERVER- SMB SMB:C; Session Setup Andx, NTLM AUTHENTICATE MESSAGEVersion:v2, Domain: GAME, User: garybook, Workstation: GAME {SMBOverTCP:15, TCP:14, IPv4:13}

It's strange. Both Domain and Workstation are "GAME". I suggest you remove this PC from the domain or workgroup, then re-join it to check if it works.

This worked perfectly for me. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itpronetworking/thread/68ffbe2a-09a7-4e29-859c-ca1aaf75dcd1/ click the start button and type secpol.msc in the search function. Browse to "Local Policies" -> "Security Options". Now look for the entry "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" and open it. Click on the dropdown menu and select "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated". Apply the settings. In the Advanced sharing settings page of Network and sharing center, you need to have it set as Work/Home profile. Try -Enable network discovery -Turn on file and print sharing -Turn off password protected sharing -Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers The other settings such as encryption I have set as use 128 bit encryption. Please check related policies. 1. Enter “gpedit.msc” in the Start Search box. 2. Open “Computer Configuration”/Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/Security Settings. 3. In the right pane, enable the following policies: Network access: Allow anonymous SID/name translation Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users Also please disable the following policies. Network access: Restrict anonymous access to Named Pipes and Shares Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares"Hardware: the parts of a computer that can be kicked."

Perfect fit thank you i didn't want to open the password protected sharing option and it appears all i needed to do was reset this setting thank you so much it worked perfectly now my network drives and all shares are back Browse to "Local Policies" -> "Security Options". Now look for the entry "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" and open it. Click on the dropdown menu and select "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated". Apply the settings. i thought i had done that once but i guess it didnt work the first time figured i would try again and the setting was blank or ' not defined ' Thank you all for the help gave you all a + for helpfulness as you all were very helpful
