Hello!
I'm having trouble network mapping a specific folder from a Windows 7 machine to a Win XP machine. I'm going through a Belkin N150 router all wired. I've got all my sharing set on the folder to everyone read&write and they are both on the same workgroup, but everytime I try to connect to it through the Belkin it says no network path found. The kicker is that when I take them off the Belkin and connect them through an asus 8 port switch I have they map just fine. I have disabled AV's and turned off all firewalls, and I can't take the Asus switch to where this network is going to be. Can anyone think of what's going on?

update 2: It seems to be the way the xp machine interacts with routers, it can map just find through intelligent switches but when you network it to any router of any kind it just won't do the network path.
