HI

I am trying to access W7 files from Vista on wireless network.

I have set the folders in 7 to share and Vista can see them on the network.

However when I try to open any folder from Vista I get "not accessible" message every time?

I can see and access the vista PC from 7 with no problems?

I have tried every trick I know (firewalls etc) and both PC's are part of Workgroup.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try going into public file sharing and turn "off" password protected sharing. Almost always clears up that error message.

Set everything to how I have it in the picture below then retest and see if you can get to your files.
