    I created a couple of new folders and enabled sharing. This worked as expected from an XP client PC: opening up \\whsserver\newshare worked fine. Yet when I try to do the same thing from my Windows 7 PC, I get a "network error: Windows cannot access \\whsserver\newshare. You do not have permission to access \\whsserver\newshare.Contact your network administrator to request access."

    The Windows 7 client can access the default shared folders like Music, Photos, etc, but not the newly created folders.

    Ironically, the WHS server was set up using the Windows 7 PC.

    Update: I deleted the old credentials for the server at Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Credential Manager. Logged out and back in. The shares are now accessible.

    Windows caches permissions when you first access the server's shares, so if you create a new share, you normally have to log off and back on to your workstation for the updated credentials to apply. Deleting the old credentials in Credentials Manager works, but really isn't needed.
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

      Hi All Finaly  we found the solution here

    1. Start Registry Editor. To do this, click Start

    Collapse this imageExpand this image

    , type Regedit in the Search programs and files box, and then press ENTER.

    2. Locate and then click following registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA

    3. Locate the LmCompatibilityLevel registry value.

    If the registry value is not present, follow these steps to create it:

    1. Select the registry subkey that is listed in step 2.
    2. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
    3. Type LmCompatibilityLevel, and then press ENTER.

    1. Set the DWORD value to 1. To do this, click Modify on the Edit menu, type 1 in the Value data box, and then click OK.

    2. Exit Registry Editor and restart the computer.

    The answer by SSVEERESH to change the LmCompatibilityLevel   - WORKED for me - Thanks!

    Just to be clear, the Registry change was made on my Windows 7 client machine - not the WHS server.

    Sam
