I'd been having this problem for quite a while, and couldn't find a solution like most others. I just took a screen shot of what changes I had to make to the Local Security Policy (just type that into the search box when you hit the Start button in Windows 7).

I'm thinking this should get added to the first post.

I've verified that it works perfectly allowing anonymous access to the shares.

Obviously, it isn't as secure as the defaults that Windows 7 has, but my network is pretty locked down, so I don't have concerns myself.

Mini-ITX HTPC: Zotac IONITX-A (GF9400), Mini-Box M350, 2x512MB DDR2-533, 160GB 2.5" HD, XBMC Live 10.1, 20W/30W (Idle/Max)
Media Server: 2x2GB DDR2-800, 6x2TB WD20EARS, FreeNAS 8.0.1-RC1
