Sharity offers LM and NTLMv1 authentication to the server. Your event log entry suggests that the server has chosen NTLMv1. I assume that you have verified the user name and password AND the domain name. If all are correct, I can come up with only one theory: Since Sharity offers LM and NTLM, servers have always used LM instead of NTLM. A bug in Sharity's NTLM part would therefore have never been found. Only if a server rejects LM, the NTLM part becomes relevant. You could verify this hypothesis by checking whether your server allows LM authentication. If it does not, enable it and see whether Sharity can connect. If yes, I guess we have something to do....
