Hi. You know this is going to boil down to some completely fricking ridiculous MICROSOFT
cockup. I had the same problem, and after trying 3,000 different solutions and this
is the monkey idiot solution what worked for me.
Go to "view network connections"
Click on your local network.
Click on properties (you should start at the "general" folder. Stay there or go there
if not)
Click the "install" button.
You get the choice of client, service or protocol. Click protocol.
Add yer protocols. NetBios and TCP/IP if they aren't there.
Enjoy the feeling of sharing files, and scream out the Window that MSFT didn't just
start with these components installed in the first place, since there doesn't seem
to be any reason NOT to.
&lemme know if this works for you,
cheers,
Toby
