Cant access new drive over win7 home network

zarker — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 10:41:31 GMT

I've installed a new hard-drive on a Win7 PC, now cant access their partitions over the network from other WIn7 PCs - Getting: "You do not have permissions" - but I can access the older drives ok which have inherited their permisions from when I used Win XP to format and share them.

I'm using a workgroup, not a homegroup (I have 2 winXP PCs on the network, one of which is my wife's corporate laptop which needs acess to printer and files). All PCs are on same workgroup. Network discovery is on. 128bit encryption (tried 56bit too on both PCs). No passwords required.

I've shared the new partitions the same as old ones as far as I can tell.

I've tried giving FULL CONTROL with inherited permissions to child folders, for all users.

I've tried adding a specific username for the user on the remote PC, but it only allows me to specify local users not remote ones (in the LOCATION field I only see the local PC).

What am I doing wrong? :(

RE: Stuxnet Worm Attack Resurfaces in Iran

From what I understand, the US government regards certain types of so-called cyber attacks that are particularly destructive as acts of war and casus belli. Does this also apply to Stuxnet, admittedly a US-Israeli device deployed against Iran ? Where is the Security Council resolution condeming these acts and ordering to the perpetrators to cease and desist ?...

I've received a notification about an update to 17.0, but since I had gone back to 15.01 mainly because my indispensible Delicious Bookmarks 2.3.1 had been disabled in 16.0 (and Nightly 19.0a1), I choose not to update....

When one can no longer compete on quality, price, service, etc, in the market place, one can go to court (preferably in one's home town) and claim patent infringement, like a certain well-known fruit purveyor, or warn prospective customers about the dire «security issues» that use of a competitor's kit, it is claimed, will inexorably involve, as certain US politicians make a career out of doing. The arguments are equally specious in both cases, but who cares - truth in advertising is conspicuous by its absence....
