This is an improved security feature because previously anyone can access an unprotected shared folder by simply using SoftPerfect Network Scanner to scan for shared folders on the whole subnet. Here is how to share folders and access the shared folders in Windows 7. First you need to know how to share a folder so that other people on the same network can access the shared folder.
By default the owner of the computer with full permission to the folder will be automatically added to the list. If you want anyone to be able to access this folder, select everyone from the drop down menu or manually type it in and click the Add button. You will now see that that the Everyone is added to the list with Read permission only. Finally click the Share button and click Done to close the file sharing window.
If you have network discovery turned on which is enabled by default , simply open Computer from the start menu and click on Network to see the list of computers that are connected to the network. When you connect to a computer to access a shared folder, Windows 7 will first try to use your currently logged in credentials on the other computer.
If both of the computers have different user login credentials, providing a valid username and password in the Enter Network Password dialog box will allow you to access the shared folders. See the solutions below to fix this problem. Advantage : Turning off password protected sharing for your network profile allows you to login using any random made up account without a password to access folders that are shared to everyone. Because that's what caused the issue for me - Hyper-V created a virtual network connection which messed up the physical NIC local area connection.
Could that be creating some issues you think? And can I not have the best of both worlds, i. LAN access and Remote Access? If not, let me know what you did to remove the virtual network.
I always end up reimaging the laptops because people need them back. This has to be some sort of bug in the OS. Hasn't anyone opened a support case MS so they can do some low level debugging? I managed to solve this on the machine I was working on. Tried this on another machine and it works for the first few times, but after a while it just doesn't solve the problem anymore.
I don't understand this, there is no pattern or apparent cause. The only "clue" I have is that this has never happened to sales people, which leads me to believe it might be something the technical guys use vpn clients? Still no way to connect to shared on the same network, all other computers 3 on the network can acces shared and have the same configuration wim image My IP Network works fine, but accessing shares of other computers does not work anymore.
Maybe someone can tell how to re-install all network protocols from LanmanWorkstation and all the rights handling instances above. Any help welcome. I have a Windows 7 ultimate that cannot access any file shares on my network, either by name or IP address.
This was working and I have followed all the suggestions from the NTLM, to removing ALL my networking components and reinstalling, to disabling Windows Firewall to removing my antivirus, and I am unable to system restore back to when it was working. I had the same issue between two Windows 7 Ultimate computers, with advanced sharing enabled.
It was only a temporary success: after restarting the sharing box, I can't access it again, I get an Access denied error.
Was is same boat as most users here, had tried everything, repeatedly, except the quoted. This worked! After applying the registry edit, I rebooted. It didn't work straight away. I ran an elevated CMD. This has been infuriating for me, can I ask exactly what that registry change did? Every other client could access the shares with the same credentials. The Vista client could access shares on every other client correctly, just not the server.
Click Local Policies. Click User Rights Assignment. Click Access this computer from the network and make sure that the Everyone group is included. Click Deny access to this computer from the network and make sure that the Everyone group is NOT included.
As I can tell, if a network is specified as public, the guest account is added to the 'Deny Access to this computer from the network' Security Policy. If you remove the guest account the same account which is used for authentication-less access to shares , you'll find your sharing works! So I followed all the advices and voodoo tricks on the thread that did not lead anywhere and found another one that finally fixed it.
My specs and situation: Windows 7 Home Premium cannot access the shared folders on any computer on my home network same workgroup especially not the ones off my NAS. Tried sync'ing the clocks, disabling IPv6, removing the 4to6 network adaptors I had none , messing with secpol. Finally what fixed it was re-enabling the " Client for Microsoft Networks " in the network adapter settings:. I read through all of this. I had enabled sharing at the drive and folder level and this worked on and off.
There is also a computer and network level sharing radio button under control panel. After I enabled sharing at the computer level it fixed my problem and I was able to map and access my shared folders without issues.
Select the radio button for "Turn On Network Discovery". Select the radio button for "Turn on file and printer sharing".
Once network discovery and file and printer sharing were enabled at the computer level, this fixed my problem. Problem appeared after installing vmware player Office Office Exchange Server.

Windows 7 Networking. Sign in to vote. I get an error code 0x unspecified error. My tests are as follows: I can ping the IP address. I can RDP into the computer. At the same time I have vmware on my windows 7 with windows xp as a guest os. From windows xp I can connect and access the files. After I use System Restore to the previous day my windows 7 can access the files. I don't make any changes and turn off the computer for the next day or two.
When I power back on, windows 7 cannot access the share again. I did the same tests as previously stated with the same results I've been doing research for the last week and had to keep using the System Restore every day in order to access my share files.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance,. Friday, January 8, PM. Ensure the comp that you're trying to access are power on. Well I tried the suggested changes but windows 7 explorer still could not show the windows xp shares. I have a nas as well that too cannot be viewed from windows 7.
I have a secured network so I do not have third party firewall installed. Monday, January 11, AM. Hi, Are the Windows 7 machine and the target machine in a domain? Then, please upload it Thanks, Novak. Clicking the Diagnose button does not solve the problem. Even if I disable Norton, it still does not solve my problem. If anyone has a suggestion as to how I can solve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
Go to Windows Update and take a look at your Installed Updates. And if one of those patches is installed, is KB also installed? Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback.
