I have a Windows 2000 file server, home use, and all of my XP machines read it with out any problems. So did Windows 7..........for one night!! I set the HomeGroup connection settings to "Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers." Everything worked fine last night, I shut the computer off and went to bed. This morning its telling me there is an error with my user name and password. No settings were changed that I know of. Does anyone have a clue what happened?

You try re-booting the server?

Yes, and I even reinstalled Windows 7 on the client thinking it could have been a bad update from this morning.

Ya, clean install. Reformat and everything. No changes to the network settings. Workgroups are the same on both machines.

I just tried to read the Windows 7 machine from the Win 2000 and saw everthing just fine. Could it be a firewall setting?

Not much of a user of the event log. Can you tell me where to find it?

What is the name of the w7 pc. If the name is too long, you can have trouble being seen by win 2000. Can the xp machines see the win7, and vice versa?

Firewall!! win 7 firewall only filters in one direction. foor event viewer its a piec of cake. Just type event viewer into search and look at both the system tab and the application tab. If you spot something use the snipping tool (snipping tool in search) to snip and upload a pic.
