Windows 10: Single Win10 machine unable to map to a Win7 Shared

2 Win10 both on build 19042. 1 has no issues with mapping to a shared folder on a shared folder on a Win7 machine\\10.1.1.100\Shared, while the other is getting

"file and print sharing resource 10.1.1.100 is online but isn't responding to connection attempts."

And details shows

"The remote computer isn’t responding to connections on port 445, possibly due to firewall or security policy settings, or because it might be temporarily unavailable. Windows couldn’t find any problems with the firewall on your computer."

However, since 1 Win10 can connect, it would mean that it's not a firewall/ security issue on the Win7 machine. I checked everything on both Win10, including

Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP

Enable SMB1.0

Disabling Windows Firewall


Nothing!! What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

Not connecting to Mapped Drives on a win10 upgrade laptop to a win7 desktop machine

Hi Michael,

Sorry that you are unable to connect to Mapped Drives on a win10 upgrade laptop to a win7 desktop machine.

From the issue description, it seems like your computer is a part of a domain network. If yes, then we have a separate department where they handle all the issues within the domain network. The IT Professional on the TechNet forum should be able to
help you with this issue. So, I would suggest you to post this query on the TechNet Windows 10 IT Pro General Forum from the link given below:

Hope this helps.

 

unable to share win7 files with win10

Hi Paul O

I reset services listed above to automatic. I can see the Win10 PC from my Win7 PC

I cannot access the Win 7 PC from the Win 10 PC. I get a message saying I don’t have pemission

 

Networking Win10 with Win7

Both are members of the same Workgroup. Everything enabled but networking between the two is now a no go.

The thing seemed to work most of the time when I was running Win8.1 but since the upgrade it's a no go. Network discovery, etc all turned on - both machines. Password protection turned off - both machines. Sharing is set to Everyone, Administrator, Administrators
- full control.

Have tried everything to no avail and believe the homegroup between Win10 and 7 is now apparently no go.

The Win10 machine can see the Win7 machine on the network but cannot access the files - 'Windows cannot access \\xxxxxx. Error code 0x80070035 - The network path was not found

The Win7 machine cannot see the Win10 machine.

I use a MS account but in trying to sort I did revert to a Local Account - no go. So now back with the MS account.

Also, the shared laser printer running from a USB cable worked fine via the Win7 machine.

I can see my wife's laptop and shared files - she's using Win7 Pro. So the wi-fi element between my laptop and her laptop seems to be working okay but my main PC running Win7 via an ethernet cable to the router is a no go.

Also, my main PC running Win7 can also access the shared files on my wife's laptop. Certainly something weird here but probably very basic as well.
