LAN between Win 7 and XP PC won't connect
I have a simple ethernet LAN between my den Win 7 PC, call it DEN, and another room with a XP PC, call it ASTRO. I haven't used the XP PC much lately (months), but I cannot logon into it from the den. I recollect though that there have been times when I could.
I try to logon from DEN by using ASTRO in the folders: ... Network >ASTRO >DEN Control Panel ... When I do that, I get a dialog like: ======================== Enter Network Password Enter your password to connect to ASTRO DEN\den area to enter password (I no longer know my pwd) a check box to remember my credentials Logon failure: unknown name or password. OK and Cancel buttons. ========================= I'm stuck. How do I get this to work? |

So you're sitting at the win7 pc and try to access shares on winxp, correct? If so
winxp is called astro. What winxp users are defined on winxp and have access to that share? Maybe it's easier to delete the share and recreate it. Which users did you give access to that share? Reset their password on winxp if you don't the password anymore. |

Reset their password on winxp if you don't the password anymore. I found the shared list, and see no entries shared. Very odd. I see Computer Mgmt Shared Folder Path ... Comment ADMIN$ C:\ Remote admin Astro$ C:\ Located in room xyz C:$ C:\ default share E:$ ... IPC$ ... My Docs ... I probably made shares 5-6 years ago, and was allowed to make folder shares of say: C:/Photos/Lakes/Ponds. "Reset their password on winxp if you don't the password anymore." "...don't know..."? |

I tried removing the C$ shared folder, and got: "This has been shared for admin purposes. The share permission file security cannot be set." Shortly after I see a dialog for C$, It shows two greyed out entries. One is for C:\, but I cannot do anything with it. I do not know how to unshare using the Computer Mgmt dialog. What is net share above? Note I am the admin. |

Astro is win7 machine? Sorry I misread your previous post.
delete the share on astro and recreate it. What user name(s) do you give access to that share? Response: Something has gone awry here with this thread. Astro is a WinXP. How do I delete the share on astro? Where do I find the names you refer to? Did you look at the table I provided below? |

I'm confused. Let's recap
Astro has 2 shares you made yourself: Astro$ C:\ Located in room xyz and My Docs ... Which one you can't connect to from win7? Net share did tell you to what folders the shares point to. NET SHARE Astro$ /delete That deletes share Astro$ After that you can recreate it. |
