Hi A2ZPearl
I think you may need to define as "shared" all the folders and sub-folders which you want to share. Having only a top-level folder defined as "shared" is probably not enough to gain access to all its sub-folders.
Go to the top of the class. Zawy, like others here, I could not see XP machines or my NAS drive in Windows 7 explorer, although I could access them by using the '\\device-name' from the address bar. Changed the network to 'Work', rather than 'Home', and joined all machines + NAS drive to a new workgroup named 'Work'. Problem solved - all visible. Nice one - thanks. I wouldn't have believed it could be so simple!
Many times the simple things makes us irritate. Anyways you have solved that problem. Many users have also asked that after installation of Windows 7 and can not find the way back to a network connecting them..!! So the answer for them, is that put it in their IP network in seven checks the networks and put options as a home network (not public so you do not block anything) and notice the security settings of 7 to not ask to share a folder password and others and ready ... Not much more back than that ...Problem solved - all visible. Nice one - thanks. I wouldn't have believed it could be so simple!
After you do all above try this on the shared computer:
1. run secpol.msc (my cojmputer is in another language, so it is more or less like this)
2. go to local directives
3. user rights attribution
4. on the right pane, look for Deny access to this computer by network
5. remove the GUEST
6. close secpol
7. right-click the my computer icon and choose manage
8. users and local groups
9. users
10. right pane, double-click Guest
11. unmark disabled account and click ok
12. left pane, groups
13. right pane, double-click Administrators
14. add Guest
Now try to access again from other computers
Well i faced the same problem. Tried all the stuff like enable file sharing, setting same workgroup, ...etc. Nothing helped but this:
I noticed that there is a multiple number of network adapters in Device manager. All were hidden so one must click View and enable hidden devices. all of it were named something like ...4to6 adapter. When i removed all these adapters my file/printer sharing and networking with XP clients starts working after reboot. If there is a huge number of these adapters you have to remove it all. It can be done using appropriate (32 or 64 bit version) tool DEVCON.EXE (which is part of Windows Driver Kit - Download details:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/e...6-7633f2ec14ff Windows Driver Kit Version 7.1.0).

This i have found here microsoft 6to4 adapter and solution is here Automating "6to4" Adapter Removal in Windows -
I have more or less the same issue. My computer and my laptop are connected by a cable (sry, don't know which type it is) without a router. I had Vista on the laptop and XP on the computer and I already had to work for about 2 hours just to get the network going and backup my files from the laptop. I thought that it won't get worse, but I simply can't make a network with Windos 7. The computer can see the laptop but can't access it, and the laptop won't even recognize the network. Any idea besides the ones already mentioned?
For this I will recommend you to use a ftp software. There is tool called FileZilla. First just simply connect your computer with a regular lan cable and then use Filezilla to transfer your files. You can just type ftp in your Explorer and type the IP or computer name. The file transfer rate by this tool is also better and it never broke in between. If you are facing some issue related to connection then try to change the cable from which you had connected your systems.
