I have tried the MS patch also re-set tcp/ip etc. Nada, i cannot communicate to my windows 7 PC.
Also i say e registry fix "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters" but i do not have a \"services" folder after CurrentControlSet (?)
Also tried this :http://www.craigharris.org/2011/02/0...work-resource/
but windows 7 does not support that.
Also the XP PC have worked fine for a couple of years, viewing network resources so this is something new.
I am tempted do fully delete the workgroup and re-add but i haven't done that (at least for a couple of years) so i don't know if i might do this worse.
Also let me note that this problem comes and goes with a full shutdown but yesterday it just did not fix. I have changed the motherboard of the XP (as some of you may recall) and i have problems with the network ever since. Maybe a wrong driver install? But how is this possible to occasionally work and occasionally don't?
Merci. Or Mercy with MS, whichever suit you.
I'm tempted for Linux while learning PHP, will see..
