File sharing problems on Win 7

[Lirans]

Hi

I have 2 pcs running Win 7 and connected with a switch.
I also have another pc with XP (connected through a router to the switch mentioned).
File sharing used to work fine, until not long ago when i tried sharing another drive on the network (from a Win 7 pc) , but i couldn't access it from other pcs. This goes the same when trying to share a drive on the other Win 7 pc.
I tried reconfiguring the workgroup, homegroup and sharing settings for all drives and the result is the same: All shares that were configured before the problem started are working fine (even if i reconfigure them) and all new shares (drives, folders) do not work on either Win 7 pc.

However new shares on the XP pc does work.

Thanks in advance

Did you remember to set both of the Win7 machines, to home network in the firewall?
They should at least be the same afaik. :)

The firewall is disabled on both

Solved it.
I needed to add "Everyone" in the security tab of the drive
