    Hi,

    here some things, you can check and try:

    In Control Panel under User Accounts on the client select "Manage your credentials".

    Check, if you find your home server listed here. If so, select "Remove from vault".

    Is there any guest account enabled on the server?

    Disable it.

    Do date, time and time zone match on both the client and the server?

    If not, this may be a reason for failed authentication.

    Do you have installed a security suite on the client, which may block shared folder access?

    Try to uninstall it temporary.

    Last but not least - your network in Network and Sharing Center settings should be configured either as home or as work network, otherwise shared folder access will not work either.

    Best greetings from Germany

    Olaf

    Are you logging on to your W7 client machine as the Administrator or one of your User accounts (which may or not have Admin privileges)?
