On this wired homebiz LAN (Netgear router), boxes A through F belong to one workgroup. A runs Ubuntu, B runs W2KPro with IIS 5, C and D run XP with Apache server 2.2, E runs XP Prof with no web server, and new box F runs Win 7 Prof with IIS 7.5. -- all can ping one another -- all can run web apps on A, B, C, D and F -- B, C, D and E can access hard shared hard drives on one other -- F can access shared drives on B, C, D and E. -- *But neither B nor C nor D nor E can access a shared drive in F.* All those boxes report drive C in F is "not accessible". Under "Ädvanced sharing " in F under Win 7 Pro, that drive is marked Shared, given a Share name, and given appropriate permissions. And in the network and sharing center, ---- Network discovery is on, ---- File & printer sharing is on, ---- Public folder sharing is on, ---- Media streaming is on, ---- File sharing using 40|56 bit encryption is permitted, ---- Password protection is off, ---- Allow Windows to manage homegroup connecitons is on. What am I missing? PB
