Can access folders elsewhere w/W7; cant access W7 from elsewhere
Three computers on my network. Windows 7 .100, Vista .101, and XP .102.
When I am on my Windows 7 computer, I can access any shared folder on either the Vista and/or XP computers. I can not, however, access Windows 7 from either of the other computers. I actually had a thread about this a while ago:
Can access folders elsewhere w/W7; cant access W7 from elsewhere
But the problem now is slightly different. There, I could see shared folders, now I can't. That issue was solved by checking Use Sharing Wizard in the folder options. That still is checked, so I have a different issue now. This was working ... not sure what happened. It's not just folders I cant see - it's the W7 computer as a whole. If I am on the Vista or XP machine, and I go Run > \\192.168.1.100, I get an error that says:
"Windows can not access 192.168.1.100 Check the spelling of the name, there might be a problem with the netoworm, etc."
I am using a linksys wired router. I have went to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings and everything is set to on, including Turn on Network Disc. PWord protected sharing is off, however. I have tried disabling the firewall, and have no security sw that would be blocking me here. All of the correct services are on:
- TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service
- DNS Client
- Function Discovery Resource Publication
- SSDP Discovery
- UPnP Device Host
An sfc/scannow gave me no errors.
The workgroup is WORKGROUP on all three computers (control panel > system)
Hoping someone can help me as to where to look next. Thank you!
