    Since you upgraded to Windows 7, did you set the sharing permissions right. That's the only thing I can think of now. Good luck.

    Can you provide a screen shot the settings? You can crop out the names if you like.

    have you actually setup any shares? Right-click on a folder you want to share and click on "Share with" and follow the prompts.

    Cannot Access MacBook on W7 Workgroup After Upgrade



    Accessing Mac OS X Windows Sharing from Windows 7
    Windows 7 will not work with Mac OS X Windows file sharing support by default. If you attempt to access a folder shared from Mac OS X, Windows 7 will display a logon error repeatedly.
    The problem is that Windows 7, by default, will only use NTLMv2 for authentication, which is not supported by Mac OS X's Windows Sharing service.
    The other problem is the Minimum Session Security for NTVLM SSP based Clients.
    To get around this:
    1. In Windows 7, open the Control Panel
    3. Double-click Administration Tools
    4. Double-click Local Security Policy
    5. Expand "Local Policies" and select "Security Options"
    6. Locate "Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level" in the list and double-click it.
    7. Change the setting from "Send NTMLv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session if negotiated"
    8. Network Security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP Based (including secure RPC) Clients
    9. Change the setting from "require 128 bit" to unchecked (No Minimum)
    10. Click OK
