For some strange reason it is working now, spent hours trying last night. Trying to connect by names, even when creating a purely Windows 7 Homegroup, still fails miserably. Network discovery is on and is finding the PCs, just can't connect. Nantallen, your solution worked fine I can even map workgroup shares as network drives that way. Inevitably the other workgroup computers still can't see the windows 7 shared folders.
I have set up folder sharing, disabled the firewall, added the identities fromn the other workgroup computers to the logins of the windows 7 and enabled guest access. I can't. Perhaps this would be a good time for a Microsoft staffer, who must be monitoring these Release Candidate forums, to get one of the programmers to offer a solution. Quite a few people are posting similar problems throughout the Networking forum.
Tuesday, May 19, PM. Hi all! Have the same bug. Simply Workgroup - I think there's no reason for Domain strukture. And, naturally, in the Network folder Win7 PC can see himself only. On the next day Win7 PC is not shutdowned in the Network folder suddenly appears all Workgroup mashines. Well, I'm glad At last I can use my Favorites folder and My Document folder, which are placed on the fileserver.
Using My Document folder is other song But today third day of installed Win7 problem with access to other mashines in the home LAN appear again. Only in the RC1 that bug appear. Maybe that is not Bug? Maybe that's a feature? LOL P. Oh, yes! I just don't have any kind of modem! So - trouble is in RC Wednesday, May 20, PM. I have the same problem as others network works, but the Win7 computer does not show in the workgroup on other computers and I cannot see any other computer on Win7. The Network Discovery and "File and printer sharing" and "sharing so anyone with network access can I am running Win7 RC Interestingly, i was able to browse to them.
In short the connectivity works, but Win7 runs ins a "stealth mode". Any ideas? I always see people having this problem. I don't understand. I have ALL machines on the same workgroup. I use HOME. All machines have drives or folders shared with the permissions set correctly. You have to set the permissions! The machines all have to be on for a few minutes to appear everywhere. I can see every machine in the house. Wired, wireless, makes no difference.
Every machine can see every other machine and shares. This has never failed for me. If you can't see other machines in Network Neighborhood or whatever you have it setup wrong. This is not a Win 7 problem, it is a setup problem. Proposed as answer by sderf Friday, May 22, AM.
I don't know if this will help. I have the same problem with Windows 7. I found a temporary solution by opening the network connections on another slave pc in my workgroup.
This found my Windows 7 machine and when I dragged some music files into my user name shared file It brought up all my network pc's and I was able to transfer files between the windows7 and other pc's. Unfortunately it only lasted until I shut down Windows 7 but it did allow me to transfer the files I wanted and I was able to recreate the connection a second time.
I was not able to locate my network printer though. Thursday, May 21, PM. I found a solution that worked for me - disable IPv6 in adapter properties. Saturday, May 23, AM. Sunday, May 24, PM. I have been fighting this for over a week, and still no joy. Tried everything suggested in several of these threads, plus some things not mentioned. Sunday, May 31, AM. Sunday, May 31, PM. Address bar changes the backslash to forward slash and says File not found.
W2Ksp4ru1, XP sp2, and w7rc. And it was working fine with w7beta Thanks. Monday, June 1, AM. Easy Fix. Restart and your done. Proposed as answer by victor Monday, February 12, AM. Saturday, October 31, PM. I also had an easy fix. I tuned off the IP 6. Easy fix. Thursday, November 5, AM. That should be the right point Proposed as answer by fvb Monday, January 18, PM. Wednesday, January 13, PM. Sorry but I clicked the 'propose as answer' to the reply above - and the answer above was exactly what NEVER worked for me!
I had 3 XP machines and 1 Vista laptop all with 'WG2' as the workgroup - and they all talked to each other just fine. Then I added a Win7 machine. I set him in a home network and his workgroup to WG2 just like all the other guys.
But then all the other guys could see him but Win7 couldn't see anybody else! Tried all kinds of things but nothing worked. Finally I did 2 things today. First I followed the suggestion to turn off IPV6 but that didn't seem to make any difference.
Monday, January 18, PM. If I browse the network on the Windows 7 system, I would not see the XP systems even though they were in the same work group. What I found was that changing the workgroup seems to force the Windows 7 system to rescan the systems in that work group. The problem is that the Windows 7 system seems to occasionally lose the XP systems and I have to force it to rediscover them again by repeating this process of leaving the work group and rejoining it again. Doing that is a real pain so I hope we can find a solution to this problem.
I have network discovery turned on and my firewall is not blocking access Proposed as answer by yearn2burn Sunday, March 25, PM. Saturday, January 23, AM. Went through a lot of the above over the past week using a wired VISTA desktop and a wireless 7 notebook.
All was well since setup after Xmas until the laptop turned OFF the onboard wireless adapter - never to return - but that is another story! I installed an external adapter which gave internet access on both machines but no sharing of files or printer. I could not even see files on the same machine using the network facility on windows explorer. File and printer sharing is now all systems go.
Guess this does some sort of reset? I have also reinstated my default Firewall settings after turning them off and the network is still working. I duplicated my main user account across machines yesterday but have not tried deleting them yet to see if that was significant.
There seems to be a lot of misinformation out there and I cannot remember all the tips I have tried unsuccessfully. Monday, January 25, AM. Hey all! I was having the same problem. Here's how I fixed it. My Computer Description was blank. All of the workstations appeared. Hope this helps! Proposed as answer by chbartel Monday, August 16, PM.
Monday, January 25, PM. I too could see the Win 7 laptop in the other computers network neighbourhoods, but you couldn't access it.
Also the Win 7 laptop was not seeing any of them, only itself. Also the LAN had a red x on it. The Win 7 was running over wireless, as was all the other ones, and could get onto the internet, just no networking. I was fighting with this for the last few hours, trying this and that, and somehow this last combination finally worked for me after doing some of the following suggestions up above: Of course I had Network Discovery, file and print sharing, public folder, media streaming all turned on.
I enabled the 40 or 56 bit encrytion just in case since we have some older puters on the network. I turned off password sharing Also I shut off the IPv6 as someone suggested under adapter and I also put in the computer name again under computer description as described above. I also shut off Zone Alarm here and there to see if that made the computers pop up in the network, but that didn't work. Anyway, I might have done a few more things that I have forgotten to put down.
So, with all of this done and zone alarm working, it is seeing the other computers finally!!!! Boy, I never had this problem with my old Vista laptop, gawd I missed her today, and we have Win 98 and Xp computers also on this network, also never any problem with networking.
This Windows 7 setup was super annoying and stressful, not user friendly at all in this instance. Otherwise I like Win 7 so far Wednesday, January 27, PM. I have tried the following without success: Updated my NIC to the latest driver per Novack's site reference. Edited my registry to set "DisabledComponents" to 0 Named my "computer description" to the name of my workgroup which is workgroup. Monday, May 24, PM. Sunday, June 13, PM. Here goes..
I removed the "everyone" permission and added my current user name to the permissions list. I give this user full control.
Now when I try to access this from Windows 7, it gives a permission error and I cannot get in. The folder shows up fine on Win 7 and I can ping machines back and forth. This is not a firewall problem for sure. For testing purposes I removed the user in the permissions list on the XP share and I added "everyone.
Opens in a rapid fashion and all is well. This is not secure. I want to be able to only allow certain users. When I remove the "everyone" permission and only add the current account name on the XP machine, I am making the share password protected. My xp machine has a user account that needs a password. Ever since I brought one Windows 7 machine into the network, it gives me a permission error.
I want Windows 7 to pop up the same dialogue box that wants a user name and password to access. I also should not need to have my XP and 7 windows have the same user name password. Windows XP was a breeze. Basically I want this: Make the shares on the XP machine to be password protected everyone permission fully removed.
So when I want to access it from the 7 machine, it will ask for the username and pass. Let's get this forum fired up and get security to the forefront. I did the same thing disable IPv6 and it works great!!!!!!! Tuesday, June 15, AM. Did you get it resolved? I am in the same boat Thanks. Monday, June 21, PM. Your answer is useless as stated. I suggest that you should joined in a workgroup for you to able to see the other computer.

Thursday, June 24, AM. Then, nothing, none of the other PC's would show but I could still connect to the internet. I could also see my pc on the other PC's but when I tried to access it, it said path not found. Borg Vomit. Friday, June 25, AM. Hey WNXSpike let me explain you an experience that i made yersterday. Wednesday, July 14, PM. Monday, July 19, PM. Monday, July 26, PM. Step 3 is what solved the problem for me. Saturday, July 31, PM. Thursday, August 5, PM. This fixed it for me as well!
Monday, August 16, PM. Once you perform above steps, you should be able to locate other machines on your system. Original Title :Network Connection Issue.
This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. I suggest you follow the below given steps and check if that resolves the issue Method 1: Turn on network discovery and file and printer sharing, and turn off password protected sharing.
Under Private , select Turn on Network discovery and Turn on file and printer sharing. Under All Networks , select Turn off password protected sharing. Make sharing services start automatically. In the Run dialog box, type services. Additional Information: Homegroup removed! Regards, Zaki. Here is how to do that:. Step 4: Under the Change sharing options for different network profiles part, check if the Turn on network discovery and Turn on file and printer sharing option has been checked in the Private part.
To reset it, follow the instructions below. Step 1: Type command prompt in the Search bar and right-click it to choose Run as administrator to open Command Prompt. So it discovers and displays them by default? Not sure about "by default" - I think the "Network discovery" has to be enabled manually. Somehow, 2 of the computers on the network were setup with a "Homegroup" the other was not. Removed all from the homegroup and its working so far.
Just search "homegroup" in the start menu to disconnect from it. Nate Nate 1. This duplicates another answer and adds no new content.
