Windws 7 + Windows For Workgroups question...
Hi all,
I know - this already sounds like a worst case scenario trying to use windows 7 with one of the oldest windows OS' that supported some form of networking.
Well, here's the deal - the CNC machine I need to be able to send files to is - yes, WFW 3.11. It currently shares a folder to put the appropriate gcode files into for the actual CNC controlling software. This has been fine with XP. We recently got a new machine that has Windows 7 Pro 64bit to replace one of the old XP machines that has died. Needless to say, windows 7 refuses to authenticate against the WFW machine.
It just keeps coming back asking for credentials. They are both part of the same workgroup, and the win7 machine sees the cnc machine, but it just refuses to map the share.
And no, the hardware in the cnc machine can't be upgraded to a newer version OS - it's currently too slow and to replace it is too expensive.
Has anyone been able to get Windows 7 to communicate with WFW 3.11 in a workgroup setting?
