Windows 7 NAS drive problems

[DenSweeP]

Hey guys. I have a NAS unit hooked up to my network at home, but cannot access the drive. I can ping the IP just fine and even log into the units' IP interface. But when I try browse the drive or map it as a network drive, it keeps asking for a User name and pass. I have set it up without and with user & pass and when I enter those it then keeps saying pass is incorrect. If I browse from my notebook which uses Win XP, no problem.

Does anybody have a solution to this? The enclosure is a Gigabit NAS drive which also has built in print server. Can not remember the exact name or model, but I got it from Mustek. It's a fairly generic unit.

Windows 7 uses a specific type of identification protocol, forcing an account or open username and password to be required for accessing remote units/storage

Try this
Add a new key to the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SYSTEM>CurrentControlSet>Control>LSA and in the right hand box created a new key called LMCompatibilityLevel with a value of 1 (from 0).

This should automatically authenticate the drive with the OS

Did that and did this:

1. Click start
2. Type: regedit
3. Press enter
4. In the left, expand these folders: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\
5. In the left, click on the folder named: Lsa
6. In the right, double-click "LmCompatibilityLevel"
7. Type the number 1 and press enter
8. Restart your computer

Users of Windows Vista Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate

1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel

Also check that your network and sharing center shows that you are visible on both public and home/work networks i've found that to be an issue as well.
