Hello,This problem may happens if there's no shared device called "file_share".Try to connect 192.168.200.10 by using the following method:1. Press windows log key +R, then run dialog box will appear.2. Type in:\\192.168.200.10Can you open this computer and see the file_share? If you can open the host computer but cannot see the file_share, try to share the device once again. Thomas77

Hi,1. Check Status of Workstation Service on Windows 7 machine.2. Check "Client for Mcrosoft Network" is installed and selected in network connection properties.3. Check Firewall status and if found running check firewall rules on Windows 7 machine.Thank You.

Windows 7 changes the way LAN-Manager works and you have to drop it back for compatibility (and to make it work). Give this a shot (I'm not in front of a win 7 machine, but these steps should get you there): Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Local Security Policy Local Policies - Security Options Network security: LAN Manager authentication level Send LM & NTLM responses Minimum session security for NTLM SSP Disable Require 128-bit encryption Hope this helps,Kevin Costain @calwell on Twitter Calwell's Blog Google Profile (Buzz)
