On the Windows 7 Machine, try this - win+r > gpedit.msc > Computer Configuration > windows settings > security settings > security options > "Network Security: LAN Manager Security Level" = "Send LM & NTLM responses" Or this- On win7, open regedit (start/run) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\ as if it was a folder list. Look for lmcompatibilitylevel on right side, should be 0 or 1. If it don't exist, create it: - Right click/new dword - Name it acordly (LmCompatibilityLevel) - Set value to 0 or 1 (test it) Does the same as using gpedit, and should work on home edition. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itpronetworking/thread/ed05788a-af43-4df6-b124-fdb57391752e/

If you want to see a good presentation on trust, this one is the best right now and very true. Pete Herzog describes the role of Trust in security, how our trust model is broken, and how to fix it. https://www.infosecisland.com/security-videos-view/10197-Security-Trust-and-How-We-Are-Broken-SecTor-2010.html

Thanks! I though I was loosing my mind. I was thinking that it would relate more to web site owners. Oh, well... A lot of legitimate web sites are being compromised and this is just one more step in the direction to identify them.
