Hello,
I recently agreed to re-install Windows for my Girlfriend, I've connected her machine to my network but it is unable to view my shares. I can see her machine under 'view workgroup computers' but she's unable to see mine and receives a message suggesting she lacks permission to the workgroup however there's an account on both mine and her machine that has administrative rights, the same user-login and password.
We're connected through a router, as mentioned before, i can browse her machine, connect using remote desktop, ping it etc... but she's unable to do the same to my machine from hers. She's able to browse the web on her machine, but that's all.
I suspect it's the Windows Firewall but i cannot access it, if i right click the properties of 'local area connection' and select the advance tab i am told that the properties were unable to load and that it could be related to corruption in WMI.
Any advice on what else it could possibly be?
Merry Xmas.
