Hi, I am having the dreaded "You do not have permission to access \\NETWORKED COMPUTER" problem. I have two Windows 7 PC's, one a workstation and the other is a notebook. For years, I have had them networked together, so that I can browse each ones hard drives from the other computer. However. For no apparent reason, when I try to go on the drives I get the "You do not have permission to access" error. I have not been able to source the fix. And I'll admit, I used to know how to do this type of thing. But Windows seems to get more complicated, and I am confused!! Can anybody please give me some simple tips?! Kind regards, Bid
Go to Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Advanced sharing settings and make sure Network discovery and File and printer sharing are enabled.
