Can't connect to Windows XP desktop from Windows 7 laptop
SYSTEM REPORTING THE PROBLEM: Windows 7 SP1 x64 Home Premium
TRYING TO ACCESS MACHINE RUNNING Windows XP SP3
I'm trying to connect to a network computer hooked up to a shared printer so that I can install the printer. However, when I try to connect to the target machine using either its computer name or its static IP address, I get an error: "Windows cannot access (target path) - Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose. Error code: 0x80004005 Unspecified error".
Network diagnostics revealed two problems:
DETECTED - The remote device or resource won't accept the connection
DETECTED - SBLSP over [MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IPv6]] is not configured properly on this computer
My wireless adapter status reveals that IPv6 has No Internet access. IPv4 is connected to both the network and the Internet. Every service provided through my onboard wireless adapter is enabled.
