I have two "identical" notebooks, both with a clean install of Home Premium.
There is a third machine running Ultimate, which shows up on the network with a Discovery Method of WSD. Notebook 1 shows up on the network with a Discovery Method of WSD. Shares between this and the third machine all work correctly. Notebook 2 shows up with a Discovery Method of NetBIOS, and is inaccessible from the third machine (error code 0x8007035). Notebook 2 requires a username and password to access a share on the third machine. How can I change Notebook 2 to use WSD? |

Notebook 2 shows up with a Discovery Method of NetBIOS, and is inaccessible from the third machine (error code 0x8007035). Notebook 2 requires a username and password to access a share on the third machine. Two separate problems (and solutions): Notebook 2 could not be accessed from the third machine because the OneCare firewall was not set correctly (the diagnostics reported that the firewall was OK, but I think that they were looking at the Windows Firewall, not the OneCare firewall). Notebook 2 required a username / password to log in to the third machine because the user was configured with a password on the notebook and without a password on the third machine. Adding the (same) password to the third machine account solved the problem. |
