I have a 500gb Network drive, for the sake of example lets say the network name is "500". I can go into my network and see all 3 computers on my network. Mine, my wifes notebook, and "500". I can Ping 500 by name and IP. My wife's notebook can browse 500.

I could browse 500 when I was using Windows XP 2 hours ago. Now whenever I try to access 500 on my network, I get

\\500 is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator blah blah blah, error 1208.

I just installed Windows 7 and this is happening. I turned off the windows firewalls, I can ping the drive by IP and name, yet windows will not let me access it even though I AM the administrator.

Can someone tell me what the heck is going on here?
