How to configure the non-domain computer to access a shared folder on a domain computer.

I have a small network.  All my computer except one laptop are in a domain.  I would like the laptop (non-domain computer) to access a shared folder in one of the domain computers.

What do I need to configure the laptop and the domain computer so the non-domain computer can read/write to the domain computer shared folder.

Non-Domain computer is running Windows 8 and Domain computer is running Windows Server 2008 Std.

You're going to need to set all the network security settings to the most dangerously disabled values possible.  And then you may still be hosed.  Another solution is Webfolder connectivity.  But native Microsoft Client level security is probably a no go.

The settings I was referring to were disabling signing and disabling Kerberos only authentication.  You'd need to have NTLM enabled to make the above solution work.
