Windows File Sharing does not work with firewall disabled
Everyone can access my Windows 7 Homegroup file shares - Even Windows XP computersSharing between Vista and Windows 7Windows 7 file and printer sharing doesnt work for meCan Windows shares potentially be accessible from Internet?Windows 7: network file sharing passwordWindows 7 File SharingWindows 8 - Can not create a very basic network between 2 PCsWindows 7 Wont stop sharing my files on my networkNetwork Share Asking for Password After Some TimeNetwork sharing not working on windows, with local IP. But can access by localhost
I have a Windows 7 computer which I am trying to use for sharing files over my home network (but not using a homegroup).
Here is what I have tried so far.
- Network Discovery and File and Print Sharing is enabled for both Private and Public Networks.
- Windows Firewall is disabled.
- I can access files on other computers properly.
- The System process is listening on Port 0.0.0.0:445.
- The user password is 8 characters or more.
- The 4 services involved are all running.
From the computer in question,
- Accessing
\localhost
works properly. - Accessing
\computer-name
only shows the share list but I can't open them. - Accessing
\ip-address
doesn't even show the list of shares.
From other computers, I am unable to see anything and I am never prompted for a password. It times out after 30-60 seconds.
Is there something in Event Viewer which I can use to further determine what the problem is?
Reinstalling Windows is definitely NOT an option.
