I've got several machines in a small group of machines, the machine doing the Disk Sharing is a win2k machine, others are win7 home premium, xp's, and even more win2k machines. They have all worked with the shared disk, lets call it \\c1a\Myfile mounted on the remote machines O: drive, all have worked perfectly for many years, until this week !! Monday or Tuesday, all of a sudden two win7 machines, when trying to mount the shared disk, come up with "Enter network password", while a third win7 machine mounts it fine.
There is no "network password", the old win2k platform did not have any network password. The only clue so far is that if one goes into the win7 system under the adapter, and "Client for Microsoft Networks" is clicked, the error happens, if not clicked, no error happens (and it never connects either..). A third win7 machine, works fine (so far...) I've gone so far as to do a complete system restore, and as soon as the network is activated, the error occurs. (I've turned off the automatic updates for now...)
Help, I'm at my wit's end on this !! :confused: Anybody have a solution ?
