W7 can't connect on TC hard disk

Question

Hi, i actually have a mac and pc business network, all computers on the network can access to Internet and access to sharing files on both mac and pc. But all pc using Windows 7 can't directly access to the time capsule Hard disk, pc using Windows XP can easily connect on it. All computers use the same account and password setting.
So.... what wrong with time capsule?

Hello Vhenzor. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
There are a number of posts related to copying issues between Windows 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
o From the Vista desktop, click Start
o Search for: security
o Click 'Local Security Policy'
o Goto Local Policies > Security Options
o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
o Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
o De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
o Click OK
To disable Windows Search:
o Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
o On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
o Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
o Press OK, close all windows and restart.
A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the TC and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name.
On the TC, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab.
On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup
