We have a Windows 7 machine on our domain network that has multiple shared drives for different users to use. All of our other windows 7 computers can access it no problem. However none of our windows xp computers can access any of the shared drives, no matter what account we are logged into, even our domain admins cannot access the shared drives from the xp computers.
One strange thing we noticed is that if we reboot the Windows 7 computer our xp machines can access it for the rest of the day, then once we get back the next day, again, we cannot access any of its shares.
We dont have this problem with any of our other windows 7 computers that have shares on our network.
any ideas would be much appreciated!
Network Discovery, File and Print and Password Protected Sharing all are on.
Every user has full control of these shared folders with read/write permissions.
This is the Error I get when Using the NET USE.
System Error 67 Has Occured
The Network Name Cannot Be found.
Even if I try to path to the server via windows explorer the error i get is.
\\Computer\ is not accessible. You might not have permission to use the network resource.
Again if i use any other windows 7 machine on our domain with these same user accounts I can access this computer and its shared drives no problem.
