Hi All,
I have a Windows 7 computer setup as part of a domain. This computer also has file sharing enabled.
At the moment, any computer on the same domain can connect to this windows 7 share. (Which is what I want)
However, any computer NOT connected to the domain (even connected to a workgroup with the same name as the domain) cant access the windows 7 machine at all. I try \\ipaddress and \\computername, but the connection just times out.
I can however ping the computer fine, and access other network apps (such as apache web server) installed on it.
I have tried disabling windows firewall to no avail.
So to sum up, I want to connect to a shared file on a windows 7 domain computer from another computer outside of the domain.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
