Hi guys,
I just finished installing windows 8 CP on my MacBook from late 2009. Previously it had windows 7 on it. The installation went smooth and all and I was able to install all my bootcamp drivers.
Currently I might be one of the only human beings on this planet who actually kinda enjoys the new metro interface but what the hell. Cutting the chase i'll just state my problem.
I am unable to access the shares on my windows 7 machine (acts as file server most of the time)
What I tested:
making sure I have connection:
- Ping hostname and ping IP both work
- A remote desktop connection can be made easily. (both on hostname and IP)
- Since I have quite heavy security on my shares normally I removed all share and NTFS security and currently have READ for all users on all folders.
I try to connect to my server trough explorer and also by using windows R so I get the "Run" box.
I tried connecting on IP and I tried to connect on hostname
\\server gives me NO maps at all and an error
\\server\drive$ again gives me nothing.
\\ip and \\ip\drive$ give me the same results.
I always gain the error:
logon failure: The user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.
Annyone knows what I can do please?
