Windows 7 connection issue

[awells]

   

Good morning,

 

I'm installing a Buffalo TS-XE2.0TL/R5 unit at a client's site and running into problems...

 

The unit itself is a 2TB drive running Firmware revision 1.20 on a static IP.

 

Three machines at site:

Win XP Pro 1: Can access fine via UNC/Machine Name
Win XP Pro 2: Can access fine via UNC/Machine Name

Win 7 Pro: Cannot access the drive at all, via NASNavigator2 or otherwise.

 

I have added the 'LmCompatibilityLevel' regkey (not previously present) and rebooted the machine.

I have allowed all forms of encryption for Kerberos auth.

I have set the 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level' policy to 'Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated'

 

Can anyone offer any advice please?

Have now updated Firmware to 1.30, am still unable to connect, getting bored with this now...

Is network and sharing even enabled on the win7 machine? If you browse for shares in Computer (Map network drive => Browse) is anything populated in there?

[awells]

   

yes definately enabled, I promise. 

 

Nothing populated except for a share local to the machine.

 

Really? I believe Buffalo products to be fairly robust! and RAID 5 provides some redundancy but I do agree and try to convince them regularly to perform an offsite backup to solid media.

Interestingly, I'm unable to see a share that should be available from one of the XP machines (their old fileshare.. don't ask) and realise this is a common problem when networking XP machines with more current software.
