Maxtor Central Axis NAS not visible on Win 7 Desktop
A Maxtor Central Axis NAS not visible on Win 7 Pro Desktop. Other computers on the network are using Win XP and have the Central Axis installed. They can access the NAS with no problem. Is it possible for the Win 7 machine to access the NAS by using the IP address of the NAS? As far as I know the Central Axis software is not compatible with Win 7. Any suggestions for being able to use the NAS with the Win 7 Pro computer?

Hi Sage: I don't understand why you gave me instructions based on Win 7 Home Premium when I mentioned in my post that my system is Win 7 Pro. Please explain your logic here so I'll know how to proceed. - Thanks

ooops i meant to direct the previous post to Jackieman!
Sorry, I do not read carefully for your question,
1. Run secpol.msc and a window called "Local Security Policy" will be open;
2. Goto Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Network security: LAN Manager authentication level
3. Change the default value of "LAN Manager authentication level" to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated:"
4. Restart
5 Then, try to use IP address to access your Maxtor Central Axis NAS. You will be prompted to enter user anme and password to logon to the Maxtor Central Axis NAS. Use the user name and password of the Maxtor Central Axis NAS to logon.

I think that my method shall work as it is a rather straight-forward method to mount a linux NAS device.
At least, the forum at segate indicates that Maxtor Central Axis can be mounted as a mapped drive despite that there is a problem in re-entering the credential.
