Hi there,
I'm not a network specialist but use a WLAN successfully to get access to the internet via a DSL-Router (SMC) for 3 PC's.
I have a problem using network releases under the following circumstances:
* 3 PC's in one WLAN (WPA2 AES g-Standard with the mentioned DSL-Router): 2xWin7 Home Premium (1 64Bit, one 32Bit), 1 WinXP Professional 32Bit
* one USB printer on the Win7 32 Bit machine
* some same users on every machine with same passwords, but some users on some machines that are not set up on the other machines
* released folders on every machine with rights for all the _same_ users on the specific machines
* I startet a home network (first for trying out this option) on both the Win7 machines to see what's going on with the shared folders and the printer (at least a code appears for input on the other machines within the home network)
* all the options for releasing folders and printers on both the Win7 machines are "on"
* printer is explicit released for all the _same_ users on the machines
* on every machine there are personal firewalls: XP and Win7 64Bit: Windows firewall, Win7 32Bit have Commodo firewall and I think the setup of these is ok because access to the WinXP machine is ok (see below)
And now:
* access to the released and shared folders from the Win7 machines towards the WinXP machine and reverse is given, but _no_ access between the Win7 machines including the printer since several weeks (before that, access was possible)
* I do "see" some "multimedia" releases on the other Win7 machine's within the network, but there is no access to them; I only "see" the machine's names
Before the problems I used 3 WinXP Professional (same machines) with exactly the same router configurations and the network access was pretty good without problems.
Now I'm on the end and don't know what to do to get access between the Win7 machines. Do someone have any idea?
I suppose that I installed a Win7 patch from Microsoft the causes the problems, but which of the "millions" is it?
greets
Jens
