I have 3 laptop computers in the same room as the router and modem. Everything I can share is shared and all permissions are granted to everyone. In the past this allowed Windows 7 to access the D:\ Partition on Vista, but not the E:\partition. Vista could not access anything except a user's folder on Windows 7. There is no home group on the network.
Now I have Windows 8.1. All are in the same workgroup. Network discovery is on. However, when I enter whatever I think the username and password is, it is not accepted. Yet Windows 7 and Windows 8 can both access the D:\partition on Vista.
If it is possible, I would like to erase or disable all security, usernames and passwords and start over. If it is possible to network without passwords I would prefer that. I'm located in an isolated area.
If there are explicit directions to this somewhere I'll be most appreciative for a link.
If this is not possible I would like to change them all, one by one to the same thing so that 2 years from now, when I want to add another computer I will not have problems.
Vista cannot access either Windows 7 or Windows 8. Both are visible under network. The code is “0X80070035. The network path was not found.”
Windows 7 can access the D:\partition: on Vista, but not the E:\partition on Vista.
Of questionable interest, when Windows 7 accesses Vista D:\partition, in addition to the E:\partition there is listed an F:\partition along with Public, Disk and Users which are located at the same level as the other partitions. I do not have a F:\petition So I don't know what all this represents.
Vista cannot access any of the partitions on Windows 7. It can access a User's folder on Windows 7.
Windows 7 cannot access Windows 8. Windows 8 cannot access Windows 7.
Windows 8 can access the D:\partition on Vista, but not the E:\partition. When trying to access the E:\partition the code is “0X80070035. The network path was not found.”
I will appreciate any advice.
