Add a user on HAL9007? (was hoping to avoid that) R -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2012 11:43 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Win 7 Prof network puzzle The second part to the puzzle is to add another user and let the second user share (Not suer whether Ultima is differnet than Pro). Make sure that share is with "everyone" or just specify each user/computer on your network. Here is an example link: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/share-files-and-printers-between-wi ndows-7-and-xp/ Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2012 11:27 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Win 7 Prof network puzzle I'm trying to do the same thing - but turning on password protection didn't work I have two comps - HAL9007 and HAL9006 - both running W7. 9007 can see and modify all of 9006. But 9006 has a user - Rocky - with a password. 9006 cannot see 9007 - access is blocked. 9007 has no user name or password login. So when I try to access 9007 from 9006 I get the Enter Network Password dialog box with User Name/Password. but Admin/Admin doesn't work. Is there a default User Name/Password for a W7 installation with no login account?

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?
