Let me first describe my home network setup.

Main computer, W7 Ultimate x64, connected via cable to router, shared directories

Another computer, WXP x86, connected via cable to router, access to shared directories works normal

Notebook #1, W7 Enterprise x86, connected via WiFi, access to shared directories works normal

Notebook #2, W7 Home Premium x64, connected via WiFi (web browsing works), cannot access shared directories

On Notebook #2, I can see the main computer in the network window... I can't however access its folders. The error I get is in topic.

Main computer and both notebooks have a user with the same username. Notebook #2 runs windows firewall and MSE.

Sharing of files, network detection on notebook #2 enabled, password protected sharing disabled.

All I could find on google on this problem was to enable NETBIOS over TCP/IP, disable windows firewall and even disable IPV6, which I tried with no success.

As the sharing works normally between main computer & notebook #1 (same OS, same user name), the problem must be with notebook #2, but I can't figure it out.

Any ideas?

You running Norton ?

in norton 360, which i have if you have another firewall you will do the following but tailor it to you specific program, i allow inbound and outbound of the icmpv6. i was having the problem on one computer only because i only changed the firewall on one computer, the other was still blocking....doh! so my boneheadedness lead me to the other which i changed and it worked perfectly.

I was running NORTON 360.

Under firewall settings; disable personal firewall.

Once this is done, access is allowed to the host pc.

You can then set your permissions, create network paths and map network drives like you would normally do.

Same user name on both notebooks and main computer. Same pass on main computer and notebook 2, not notebook 1. Same username is a leftover from the Vista era... same user made folder sharing easier.

edit

Tried disabling IPv6

edit #2

Same workgroup name.
