Still not working
I seem to be having pretty much the same problem. I cannot connect to my file server, which requires a user name and password.
I have 3 XP machines that connect to the same drive, with the same user name and password so I know its right. From my W7 machine, I cannot get to it. I can get to all the admin shares on all other machines, but the file server.
I've tried everything you suggested, and it still comes up asking for a user name and password and wont take the one I give it. Anything else you can think of?
*** Update ***
Some times I just need to search a little bit more. I found the answer on a different thread. (link)

- In the right pane near the bottom, double-click "Network security: LAN
manager authentication level"
- Click the drop-down box, and click "Send LM & NTLM responses"
- Click OK
