Windows cannot access \\COMPUTERNAME. You do not have permission ...
Recently I have been setting up a workgroup network comprising three Win 7 PCs and one XP PC.
Two of the Win 7s can each access the other three PCs, but the third Win 7 says that I cannot access one of the other two Win 7s because I don't have permission. Previously I could so by entering my username and password. I have turned off this requirement on all PCs, but even if I try to restore it I no longer get the opportunity to enter username and password to access the other PC. So everything works on the network except this weird refusal.
The XP can access the other three PCs, except strangely I need to enter username and password when accessing one of the three. Annoying, but I will wear it.
The inability to access one Win 7 PC from one of the other two Win 7 PCs is obviously much more of a problem. I would be ecstatic if I had to enter username and password rather than getting a straightout refusal.
I have tried without success to find where Win 7 is getting the notion that I, the administrator, don't have the credentials to access one of my PCs. Can anyone help me stop this inane message popping up?
