    Sharing files between 2 Windows 7 in a Windows Domain


    I have a Windows 2008 Server and Domain. I have 2 laptops in the Domain with Windows 7 Entreprise, both Wireless. I shared the drive that needs to be share.

    From one Windows 7, I cannot access the other Windows 7, I do not see the PC, and the share and cannot map it.
    From the Windows Server, I can access both PCs and the Folders without needing to logon since I am using the same userID.

    From Windows 7, I can connect to the Server.

    Well, it is working now!

    I reset the Wireless router and it fixed (!) the problem.

    I still do not understand what was casing the problem though.
    To summarize:

    I had 1 Windows Server 2008 wirh AD.
    1 Laptop #1 with Windows 7 (Wireless) for 4 months (Upgraded from Vista)
    1 Laptop #2 with Vista Business (Wireless)
    1 Laptop with XP SP3 (Wireless)
    1 Desktop with Vista Ultimate (Wireless)

    All PCs are in the domain, using a single userID with Administrators Rights.

    Since I upgraded the Laptop #1 to W7, I found that once in a while, my Vista laptop would not connect to the wireless after rebooting and I needed to reset the wireless router. XP and W7 where not having any problems, just the Vista (Both Laptop #2 and the Desktop)
    After resetting the wireless,I was not having any problems sharing files between W7, XP and Vista.

    Yesterday, I updated Laptop #2 to W7. After that, I could not connect to the W7's Laptops, Vista, and XP, but could from the Server.
    I reset the Wireless router and it is all working.

    Anyone had simular experience with Wireless and W7.

    My wireless Firewall Router is a Fortinet WIFI60B.

    Thanks for stopping by and for your input if any.
