[thechat] Win 2K

If the NT client has a registry setting somewhere
called "LMAuthenticationLevel" and the server
doesn't, or vice versa, there's a reasonable
chance that they'll *never* see each other.

By default, no such entry exists, and there's
no GUI tool which can create one.  But there
was an alert last week which recommended 'upgrading'
LM security by adding a registry hack to your
whole LAN.  A moderately paranoid network admin
might have done it then.

(But my first suggestion is much more likely.)
