Shared Folder access on LAN

I realize this may not be an ESS issue but I'm confident I have all setup fine. I have ESS set to allow an IP address range for the firewall. I have network file and print sharing setup on the XP machines but still cannot even see the other PCs on the LAN little lone access shared folders.

Any one help? Wasn't sure if I setup up ESS incorrect or ?

 

Try disabling the firewall for a moment and you'll see if it's blocking it.

 

I did. Unless it needs to be down for a while. I admit I get to moving to fast some times but I disabled ESS on both PCs and still an issue.

 

I have te same issue on my vista 32 with ESS v4.0 like SBMongoos
but when I disable the firewall this is solved and can see all lan PC's and shared folders on LAN, besides that was not issue in ESS v3.0

 

I had the same problem and it took me about two years to find the solution which really worked. Try this

I hope it works for you too.
