Can't Access Win7 shares from Axim PDA

Hi
This is my first post. I am hoping someone can help. I have 4 PCs linked by a wired LAN. I also have a Dell Axim X51v PDA, which I use to listen to music files from a music collection on PC1 via a wireless access point. All was working fine under XP, but now that I have upgraded PC1 & PC2 to Windows 7 Ultimate 7600, I can no longer access shares on those machines using the PDA. I can see the PC's using the network plugin, or Resco Explorer, on the PDA, but when I try to expand them to see the shares I get nothing. The XP PC's shares still work fine, and I can ping the Win7 PC's with the PDA.
I can access the internet with the PDA
I have tried with and without Windows firewall, and I have tried setting LMCompatibilityLevel to 1, as suggested in another post.
The XP machines can access the Win7 shares OK, and vice versa.
I have tried going back to the original Windows Mobile 5.0 on the PDA, (I normally run WM6.5), but I still get the same results.
I am not using any encription on the PDA at this stage, and the Win7 shares have read/write permissions for everyone.
I feel that there is some security setting on the Win7 machines that I am missing, but for all my searching on the net I can't seem to find it.
Hoping someone can help, because apart from this snag there is a lot to like about Windows 7

Thanks for the reply.

I have Windows Mobile Device Center installed (Win7's replacement for XP's Activesync), and that is working fine, and allows me to syncronize/transfer files when the Axim is connected to the Win7 PC via the USB cradle.
What I am having trouble with is accessing the Win7 shares wirelessly over the network, which is something I could always do , and still can on PC's running XP
