Server 2003 wont map a network drive to a Win7 Domain PC

    Im trying to map a drive from a Server 2003 (not on a domain) to a Win7 machine (on a domain).

    \\myip\

    It prompts for a user and password which i enter my domain credentials correctly but it always fails to authenticate.

    I have a few other server 2003's (not on domains) running and they all map fine to the same Win7 machine so there must be something with the Server 2003.

    Any suggestions on what to try?

    All computers are on the same subnet and using the same default gateway.

    What version of Windows 7 are you running?
    You can't do it in Windows 7 Home Premium, you'd have to upgrade to Pro or Ultimate.

    Try this..

    Under local security policies,
    > Local Policies
    > Security Options

    Navigate down to
    Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication level

    and Choose
    Send LM & NTLM, use NTLMv2 session security is negotiated

    I know there are loads of people having this problem, and there are quite a few workarounds that work for different people.. I can't remember Microsofts answer to this a year ago, but it was some nonsense..

    Try this and hopefully this will work, i'm running low.. :o

    Similar:

    Local Computer Policy
    > Local Policies
    > Security Options
    Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts: Classic – local users authenticate as themselves.

    EDIT:

    Run that as Admin
