Windows 7 not able to see or map to networked drives
I have a user who is logged into my domain as admin and they are able to see all of my network, but they are not able to map or see a drive share that is on another Windows 7 machine. I have double checked permissions on both the users machine and also on the other two Windows 7 machines and they are set correctly.To make this even more bizarre, I can log into my domain name as them and I am able to both map and see the drives in question. The laptop that the user is logged into can see all of the network but when they try to access the drives in question, windows tells them that it can't find the drives. Thank you Doug

Hi Doug, Thanks for the post! Do you mean you and another user both logon the same laptop, you can see and map the shared drive on another Windows 7 machine, but the other user can't? Is this laptop running Windows 7? If so, check the user settings, ensure the other user has enough permission. If this issue only happen on this certain laptop, check the computer settings. Open the Control Panel, make sure the network discovery, the file and pringter sharing are enabled. Also Start the Computer Browser service. Click Start, input services.msc in the search box, press Enter. On the right-pane, start the service "Computer Browser".
