Can't access network share from extender...

[DJ...]

I have a drive that I can access from all PCs connected to my router, but the PC connected to the wireless extender refuses to connect. It says access denied and I don't have permission to access the drive. I can see it, just can't access it. The drive is on a Windows 7 machine and the PC connecting is also on Windows 7.

Any ideas?

Create an account on the win 7 box and login with that?

Huh?

Do you get a login?

 

[DJ...]

No, there's no login for this machine. Don't want it and it hasn't been necessary. My other machines connect to it just fine...

Still not sure why the machine can't connect, so I've discarded the machine entirely and replaced it with a laptop. Much better this way in all departments. I had to use the IP address of the machine to connect, instead of the DNS alias (I think it's called) but all is working fine now...
