    Can't Connect Windows 7 Ultimate to Window NT computer


    I just newly purchase a windows 7 ultimate computer...I added it to my network..I can connect to other computers running windows xp professional but they can't connect to it. There are in the same workgroup. I have one system running windows NT not XP and I can see it in my network but I can connect to it. I can connect to the system running windows XP and I can't connect to just one system running windows NT.

    It prompts for a password and username acccount login to connect to the sytem running windows nt.

    Can't anyone help me out with this.

    Go to Control Panel->Network and Sharing->Change Sharing Options for Different Network Profiles,and there in Password Protected sharing select Turn off password protected sharing.
    This would help you.

    I already did that. It's not still responding, it's still prompting for password when i try to login to the system running Windows NT. But it doesn't prompt for password when am accessing the system running Windows XP professional sp2.

    It only prompts when i try to login to the one running Windows NT.
    Its a HP Mini Tower, running Windows Ultimate 32 Bits.

    This requires that you change the lanman server parimeters in order to get Windows 7 working with older servers. Do these adjustments on the Windows 7 machines that need to connect to the server.

    Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Local Security Policy

    Local Policies - Security Options

    Network security: LAN Manager authentication level
    Set to Send LM & NTLM responses only

    Set the Minimum session security for NTLM SSP
    Disable Require 128-bit encryption

    The screen shots below should be helpful.

    Reboot all machines after making the adjustment.
