    So I've never been able to connect to either of my SANS over the network. It's connecting just fine to other workstations and my server 2003. I started researching and I found this from one of the websites I found. You should add this registry value if you are having problems where you are logging in with the correct credentials but it still isn't working:

    Once you have drilled down to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\System\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Lsa click on LSA in the folders window (left).

    Next click Edit \ New \ DWORD (32 bit) Value \

    The new Dword is LmCompatibilityLevel and the value is 1

    This solution worked for me. :)

    Good Post Rob!

    This is one of the things about Win7 that I do not like! Oh, well it will all get straightened out like this over the next 10 years...
