FIXED - For some reason Win7 and VISTA are picky about the time being set correctly on both PC's. The time was correct within one minute but the date was off by 2 weeks. After fixing the date on XP3, everything works correctly.
P.S. Cisco's Network Magic found this error.
Strange networking problem. 2 Win7 boxes and 3 XP pro boxes. The Win7 Boxes cannot see shares on one of the XP boxes as summarized below.
All have same username and password, user has admin rights. All are on the same subnet. All can ping, All can remote desktop to all.
For trouble-shooting purposes I did a clean load of XP Pro SP3 on XP3 on a spare drive. Still can't connect to its shares from the Win7 boxes.
Any ideas? I googled a lot, but nothing worked. The Win7 boxes show XP3 on the network list but cannot access the shares not even admin shares.
