I am running windows home server 2011, fully updated as of tonight. The problem is that i can not connect to the shared folders using the launchpad from my windows 7 machine wirelessly or wired. The back up function works. The dashboard
function works.
I can ping the server from the laptop (win7) and vice versa. Router is a cisco wireless router and configured normally. I have baselined my home server twice. i have deleted and re-installed the connector many times.
Oddly enough the only machine i can get to connect to it is an ubuntu 12 box. And unfortunately the connection was not all that great.
I can remote into whs 11 from the win7 machine.
The problem seems to center around permissions. I can't access the server from the launchpad nor the networking function in win7. Which is strange. I have created an account for the win7 box with password. it is in the right user groups (share
group). Nothing indicates that it would not have permission.
Please Help.
