Hi there,<br />
<br />
We have Windows XP workstations that cannot access Windows 7 shares, they don't even get the window that show all of the shares. &nbsp;Every time we try to access the Windows 7 shares through \\workstation7name, we get this error:<br />
<br />
\\workstation7name is not accessible. &nbsp;You might not have permission to use this network resource. &nbsp;Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. &nbsp;The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.<br />
<br />
We don't have this problem with other Windows 7 workstations, only this specific one. &nbsp;Any ideas on what we can change/configure to allow this Windows 7 to display its shares to Windows XP workstation?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Cannot access Windows 7 shares from Windows XP

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Windows 7

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Windows XP

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
