Do you have a password on the account on the Windows 7 machine? If not, create one and see if that allows access. Vista, and I presume Windows 7 as well, default to inhibiting file sharing with no password on the account.

On the other hand, I have a similiar problem, but not the same. Let me paste my post from other Win7 forum, I couldn't solve it so far.
Hi!
I am facing a very annoying problem. I have a home server with Windows Server 2003, and my notebook with Windows 7.
The only role the server has is to share files, and there is no Active Directory, or any other thing, just the simlpe file server role. Now, when I try to browse the server, I am prompted to provide credentials, usr/pwd. We use the server's local accounts, so the whole username is like: fileserver/user.
The poblem is, I type the correct pwd, but I'm prompted again, and again, and again. No matter which account I try, it doesn't work. I did like 3 hours research on the net, but I wasn't able to find anything that worked.
I tried everything, no joy. :S
If anyone can help me, please don't hesitate, I cannot access my server. :S
Thanks for every hint or advice in advance.
