This is the second istance now where I have been operting with Windows 7 Home Premium and cannot access the company server. The login credentials have not changed, and can be accessed from every other machine in this office. This is a new build with a Wireless N USB adapater. Any thoughts on how to gain access. The server is operating on Windows 98 I believe.

Hi, To troubleshoot the issue, please perform the following steps. 1. Write down the Company Server’s IP address. Click Start button in Windows 7 and type \\IP address, and then press enter. Can you access the network computer now? If it works, the issue can be related to DNS. You may check Hosts file. Please refer the following article. Modify the Hosts file In the hosts file, ignore all the lines that start with *, and pay attention to other lines. Please only keep the line "localhost 127.0.0.1", delete others. Otherwise, please move on the next steps. 2. Restart the machine in Safe Mode with Networking and access the network machine again. 3. Assure the following services are started: Computer Browser, Server, Workstation 4. Modify relevant settings on Windows 7 machine. a. Click Start and open Control Panel. b. Open "Network and Sharing Center" and click "Advanced sharing settings". c. Expand the current network profile (such as "Home or Work"), and then select the following options: "Turn on Network Discovery", "Turn on file and printer sharing", "Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in the Public folders", "Turn off password protected sharing" If the issue persists, please capture the error message and upload it to Skydrive (www.skydrive.live.com) and share the link to me for research. Hope this helps. NovakPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
