This sounds like an IQ test; the Red house is second from the end of the street...so where is the white house and what is the colour of houses adjacent. First, Windows 7 is similar to a server in access control. If the only user is the computer's administrator and the password protection has been turned off remote access will be limited or blocked. You can either turn password protection on or add another user, give that user full rights to shares and allow access that way. Second, mentioning which ones run web apps seems to be a false leader and irrelevant? Third, sometimes drives will not connect via the computer names and their IP address must be used, i.e.: 192.168.150.3\MyPrinter. Forth, when sharing with Ubuntu over a windows network be sure to have the appropriate service is running and directory access is set.

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?
