talking between different Win versions

[Stubby]

I have local net problems between a Win2KSP4 machine, a Win7HP

machine, and a Win Vista machine. I'll be asking about these one at a

time.



First, my Win7 machine can see the Win2K machine but it asks for login

credentials. I supply my normal user & password and check the

"remember it" box but it doesn't work. Poking around with the

Internet Zones doesn't help. And, I disabled the firewall on Win7.



What do I have to do to let the connection get set up?



NB: The Win7 machine can see the disk on the Vista machine.

You might check the security event log for clues.

You need to modify a registry entry on your Windows 7 machine - see here:

"social"? Why would the OP need an M$ dating service?

'cause he wants two lonely installations of Windows to share certain things

with each other!

And here's the background on that.

YES! In that article the advise by "rtoledo2002" was:



1. Run the registry editor and open this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

1. If it doesn't already exist, create a DWORD value named

LmCompatibilityLevel

3. Set the value to 1

4. Reboot



I added the key to Win7 and Win2K machines. Win7 machine can now see

the Win2K machine.



The Vista machine had the key with value 3 so I changed it to 1.

Vista can see Win7 and Win2K, also. But, neither of those can use

the Vista machine.
