I have four Win 7 Home Premium systems on a LAN. Systems A,B,C can see each other bi-directionally, at least to the extent that I can create shared folders on each of these 3 systems, which shares are fully accessible on the other 2 systems.
I just added a new system D to the LAN. From System D, I can see shares on A,B,C.
From B and C, I can see shares on D. But from A, I cannot access D in any way nor see shares on D.
Although system D shows up in A's network folder, when I click on D, I get the standard error message: "You do not have permission to access D."
If try to map a network drive from A, I am given the option of mapping "\\D\share", and I click on "Finish", a dialog comes up with "D\share", presumably a Username, (where share is the name of a the shared folder on D), and I'm asked to provide a password. I have tried the Homegroup password for A but that didn't work.
I left the Homegroup on D, which Homegroup was created when Win 7 first booted up on D.
Any creative ideas would be appreciated.
