Anyone had any experience with this?

Can't seem to Google anything that works for me.

Windows 7 PC is the main machine, trying to share files between the two.

Click on Local Security Policy
Goto Local Policies> Security Options
Double Click on Network Security

Change level to: Send LM # LTLM Responses

Then, scroll down to Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP
De-select Require 128-bit encryption
Hit OK

Yeah, came across that. Only think is "local security policy" doesn't come up in the results.

ahh thats annoying. If you type "advanced sharing" in the start menu there are some basic options in there. Make sure sharing is on of course, and use 40-bit/56-bit encryption and turn off password protected sharing. That worked for my XP machine.
