Hi all
I got perhaps a simple problem,
Set up a new windows 7 64 bit computer , connected to a workgroup based network shared with 6 computers wired and wifi...,
This new computer was bought ready, and it connects via wifi only as the location does not allow for a cable...,
I got this computer setup under the existing workgroup I assigned a folder in the primary drive to be shared on the workgroup network.
Upon the complete setup I can connect to the internet I can browse networking and see all the computers there I can enter the shared folders in all the computers without any problems everything seems ok, but when I try to connect from other computers to this new computer I am unable to...,
I can see that computer in the workgroup when I click on it it asks me for a user name and password, I type in the credentials and it tells me it failed and to contact the administrator or I may not have the sufficient rights..., I am stunned I have done this so many times in the past , I have never had a problem like this before... What may be wrong ? , the shared folder lets call this computer A is set to share to entire workgroup, read write is all allowed, network discovery is checked , sharing is checked... Everything is as it supposed to be but yet I am unable to enter the shared folder from any other computer....
anyone ?
any help would be appreciated.
