    Problem logging on to a network


    I am having a problem accessing my work network using windows 7 64 bit. The computer that I am trying to connect with is a windows 2000 machine. It keeps saying that I have invalid credentials, when I know the credentials are right. A friends xp machine logs on to the network and so does his vista machine. Thanks in advance for any help!

    The host machine is the w2k. The 64 bit win 7 is able to see the win2k machine. The credentals from the win 7 are rejected and I am quite certain they don't even make it to the win2k machine for verification. I think the encryption protocols are different. I am able to ping the w2k machine and use the w2k machine as the gateway to the Internet. I can access the Internet just fine. The network is mapped as such. W2k host the wireless router and the win 7 laptop is trying to use the w2k for printer sharing through the wireless. The network only consist of those two computers.

Does event viewer log when computers on the network boot up (when they join the network)? If so, which node is it under for the event log? If not, is there a program that can do this? Thanks
