Windows 7 and SMB Devices

I have an Android tablet that can access network shares through the SMB/CIFS protocol and I am having trouble connecting to my Windows 7 shares. I searched google and I made some changes in the Local Security Policy (Send LM & NTLM use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated and I disabled 128-Bit encryption) and my Android tablet (Archos 70 Internet Tablet running Android 2.2) I have tried all of the things I can think of
The weird thing is if I log in as a guest (I am using AndSMB for the android system) I can see all of my shares but If I try to list a directory I get access denied, but if I try to log in using my user name and password I get Logon Failure unknown user or bad password
is there any thing I can be missing to get this to work?

Thanks
 
I might be stating the obvious here, but have you tried working backwards yet from no security/permissions and then start locking things back down to figure out where the problem is occurring? Such as disabling the Windows firewall and creating a directory with full NTFS permissions to the everyone group, and sharing it with full permissions to everyone as well. I see you're troubleshooting at the protocol level, so you may have already gone through these steps, but it might be helpful to others here if they knew what has or hasn't worked thus far. Is the computer a member of a domain?
 
the computer is not a member of a domain and I tried disabling all security. Anyway I got it to work by trying a different Android App called ES File Explorer. So I guess it was something wrong with the App settings or just a bad App

Thanks
