Ok, seems I jumped the gun and asked for help a little too soon. After searching through the registry, I stumbled upon the key (it was already there), and just had to set the value. The key exists in HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Services\lanmanworkstation\paramaters and there is an entry enableplaintextpassword (no CAPS). Default value is 0. Switch it to 1, reboot, and you can connect. If anyone knows of a better/different way, I'd like to hear about it. Thanks.
