    From Win7, unable to map a shared drive; ok from XP


    I'm desperate.

    I'm unable to map any shared drive from my Win 7 laptop.

    I have no problem doing it from my XP laptop.

    I think I have tried everything recommended in every forum...

    Is there a systematic approach, step by step, to debug such a situation ?

    Thanks,

    Reading back my post, I noticed that I badly explained my problem.

    From my Win 7 PC, I try to map a shared drive, and to simplify the problem, let's say that the shared drive is on an XP system (in fact I cannot map any shared on any OS). I can map this shared drive from another XP system.

    My problem is not to map some data on the Win 7 PC

    Sorry for the misunderstanding.
