When we give customers access to network subfolders, they are not able to access them directly from their Windows 7 computers. Lets say we give the user John direct access to the "budget" folder, but he does not have any rights to the "finance" folder.
He also can not create a shortcut to the path. If someone who DOES have access to the whole path like a domain admin creates a shortcut to the full URL and gives the shortcut file to the end user, they can access it using that file.
Is there something that can be changed to return this to Windows XP behavior, when users are able to simply go directly to the URL or create their own shortcut? Office Office Exchange Server.

If the Network Discovery is off, please take the following steps to turn it on. Click Control Panel. Click Networking and Sharing Center.
Click the Drop Down arrow next to Network Discovery. Click the option, Turn on network discovery. Click apply.

TIA Phil. In reply to PhilipWilbarger's post on August 13, In reply to Arya S Asok's post on August 14, Temporarily disabling the firewall on the workstations with the issue made no difference, so I know this has nothing to do with the firewall settings. Machines "see" each order by virtue of the fact that they will regularly broadcast their presence to the other computers in their Workgroup.
This has nothing to do with the actual connectivity itself. Or do "Connect network drive" by manually entering the path. What is worrying are the dropped connections. This indicates that something strange is going on with those particular machines. A common cause of such issues is power-management. Often Windows 7 will default to disabling the LAN adapter temporarily while "saving power".
This doesn't always work well resulting in just the sort of disconnect behavior that you are seeing. So first check if the NIC driver has a Power-management setting and disable it if it is on. If there is no such setting it is disabled anyway. Another possibility is a NIC with a flaky driver.
Sometimes the driver is perfectly fine, but the TCP checksum off-loading function if present is causing more problems than it's worth. I had the same problem on W7pro, but restarting Computer browser service didn't help. I found my fix here by enabling smbv1 and smbv2 Run command prompt as Administrator.
As you say, all others machines are using the same Windows installation and don't have the same problem. I hope this may work for you. It is also better then using an ip address as this is when this problem tends to show up when rebooting a complete network ip address can change and it can take afew minutes to an hour or a day for network neighbor hood to wake up sometimes As I said this is an intermittent problem and relatively rare i have found most home networking is better to use the computer name rather then its ip address.
I use workgroup sharing and avoid home, office or public. I just want to share my workgroup files, folders and drives and configure my own permissions and security settings from a workgroup and be free of Microsofts way of doing things. Thus far, I have no problem sharing files, folders or drives between the two, but your problem seems similar to mine.
When I open File Explorer and select "Network" I am missing the icons of the shared computers; hence I cannot double click on them to go to the sub folders that are shared. The explorer view area is blank! Right click on the above services and then go to Properties.
Under General tab, make sure that the Startup type is Automatic and Service status is running. Then go to recovery tab and change all the entries next to 1st failure, 2nd failure and Subsequent failure to Restart the Service. Method 1: SMB turned off with restart and nothing shows on the network, and turned on with restart and everything shows, but same error.
Same error message. This error is on a Windows 10 laptop, not the Win 7 desktop. All of the associated network services are running. All are in the same Workgroup. I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. Before mapping the drives again, kindly follow the steps mentioned below to make sure everything services and options are enabled is running correctly: Method 1 : Let us first enable the feature. Open Control Panel. Then click on all Control Panel Items.
Then click on Programs and features. Method 2 : Modify Local security policy. Click on Apply and OK. Type ncpa. Hope it helps. Mala S Microsoft Community - Moderator.
