    I have up until recently had my networking going fine. I decided to upgrade my HDD to a SSD in my primary computer and installed Win 7 Pro 64bit after going through all and sundry as is usual with an upgrade, I decided I had better test that the networking was working. Nope, when I click on network, the only computer I can see is the one I am using, This is of the same home group as all the others ( a Toshiba laptop and an older desktop in another room) all hard wired. The other 2 computers (also win7 pro) can see each other, and can sort of see the problem one. However when I click on the problem computer from either of the others, I get the message "windows cannot access\\Computer name.
    If I click on details I get the error code 0x80070035 the network path was not found.
    To summarise, the problem computer when I click on network, only shows itself. The other two show all the computers including the problem one. They can access each other but not the problem computer. I gather it is some sort of setting issue, but it has me stumped at present.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.:eek:

    Well, it was my **** eset firewall, treating my home network as an office network. Reset and all is now ok. Talk about doing one's head in.
