I have 4 computers on my home network. Laptop runs Win 7 Pro; Storm runs Win 7 Ultimate; S-Mach runs Win7 Ultimate (64 bit); AMD64 runs Win 2K. All have the same login and password. Win 7 machines have network discovery turned on. All in the same workgroup.

Laptop sees all machines but can't access S-Mach. It can access all others.
S-Mach sees all machines and can access all drives and folders.
Storm see only Laptop and can access it. Network map shows S-Mach but it does not show up in Network.
AMD64 sees Laptop and can access it; nothing else.

All machines are set up for sharing with full control permission to Everyone.
When I try to access Storm from AMD64 I get the error, "Network path is not found"

Any suggestions?

Charlie

Scroll down in Advanced Sharing Settings and "Turn off Password Protected" and below that "Use User Accounts and Passwords to Connect to Other Computers"

Both of those were already turned off. And I confirmed that.

Make sure these are turned off for the section regarding the Home and Work network profiles. Setting it for Public (unless you set this as your network type when it was discovered) won't do you any good.
