So, I've looked all around for solutions to this problem, but I can't find any. I've got a wireless network and I'm trying to share a hard drive with a laptop on the network. After lots of tweaking, I've basically made my computer visible to anyone. Every computer other than this annoying laptop can see my computer, and take files from it. So, I know it's not an issue with the computer sharing the files. The laptop has a static IP in the same range as the source computer. The laptop is in the same workgroup, yet when I go to "view workgroup computers" I get the "you might not have permission" dialog. From the laptop I can ping my computer, the router, and the other 4 computers on the network. The laptop refuses to see the workgroup computers, yet from my computer I can see my roomates computer and a few of the others on my network. So, basically, there's something about the laptop that isn't letting it see the workgroup.
I've turned off all software firewalls, and tried going run->//computername or //shared computer IP, but it just says it can't find the address. I've tried adding the shared folder as a mapped network drive, but it still can't find the address. I know my computer is not the issue, as I can remote desktop to it, get to it from the run command, etc, from all other computers on the network.
I have no idea what to do next, so, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
