File sharing conundrum
Hey there,
I hope you'll bear with me repeating what seems to be answered many times, but I'm having a problem with my windows 7 network, and I'm hoping someone here can help me shed some light on it.
I have a home network with 5 computers. One of the computers (my girlfriend's) has a shared drive that all the other ones can access, except one (mine). When i try to access it, it says I don't have permission to access the drive. I'm not using homegroups, and I have shared the drive using advanced sharing. I made sure that everyone has full access to the share but I still can't connect. I've been googeling around for a few hours now and I haven't found anything that was all that helpful. I ran updates on both computers, and even applied a rather sketchy seeming registry patch that was supposed to fix the problem, but to no avail. I'm really hoping that someone here can give me some insight to the problem, 'cause I'm out of ideas. It's times like this that I really miss XP, haha.
Thank you in advance and just let me know if you need any more information provided.
