W7 cannot see workgroup computers
Ok, I've done my best due diligence this afternoon and am crying "UNCLE!!"
My W7 machine cannot see other workgroup computers (a vista laptop and a linux box). The vista laptop CAN see the other two, can access files on the linux box, but i get the error "network path not found" when trying to explore the W7 box. I'm using a trendnet tew 632 wireless router the the linux box is wired to, the vista laptop and W7 box are wirelessly connected (there is a linksys range expander used as well). Web connection is fine.
I have not created a "homegroup". I have created the same "workgroup" for all computers. I have enabled network discovery and file sharing with no passwords. I can ping the linux box and the laptop from the W7 machine no problem. I beleieve i have enabled all appropriate services.
The Linksys WMP110 RangePlus Wireless PCI Adapter has the current driver, proper NIC's are enabled (i think thats the right term), and i enabled netBios over tcp/ip.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!!
