Trying to share a printer

I have a shared printer on an XP desktop on the LAN network. Its ip address is 192.168.0.7
It seems every computer in the household (mix of XP, vista and 7) can access \\192.168.0.7, expect for mine, which is a vista. Firewalls are turned off and workgroups match. I get the error "Windows cannot access \\192.168.0.7" with error code 0x80004005. The thing is, I can ping the machine. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi,

I think it is to do with your firewall settings. So, what firewall are you using?

Hi,

Try this fix (From here)

I finally fixed my problems. It turns out that my network adapter somehow loosed component called "Client for Microsoft Networks"

Go to your network connections, right click and go to Properties. In there, click 'Install' and choose 'Client' and you'll see the option there. Hope that helps.
