ex: when trying to connect like \Server-A\ABCfolder then getting a prompt but when ever trying RDC is going through , i checked and verified the network sharing setting all seems to be fine.

Thanks for your replies... The server is stand alone in the same workgroup with the other PCs. Anyway that seems to be a problem of windows 7 home since ultimate and professional edition connect properly to win 2000 share using the same user and password which that I am using with win7 home ed.   I guess that the windows 7 pc does not send the proper authentication info to the remote pc.  

The solution: Registry editing for LAN manager authentication level (in Home edition this can be configured through registry)

How to do it:  

1 . Open registry editor ( Start search - regedit)

2 . Browse to  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

3.  Create a new DWORD value  with the following properties:   NAME: LmCompatibilityLevel    

                                                                                            VALUE: 1

  1. Restart your PC and try the connection again...

    have problem here....

    Have a laptop Win7 Home Premium and desktop Win7 Pro. Made sharing config identical on both and cannot access laptop from desktop, but can assess vise versa. At 1 point received the following error: 0x80070043. can access resources from laptop which are in Public folder, but when i try to access anything else (shared few folders), receive error message that i do not have rights to access that location. What can be a problem and a fix for it?

    I HAD exactly the same problem.  But thanks to you I'm now connected to my Windows 2000 machine.

    This was really frustrating because I have a Windows 7 Professional machine and had no proble between

     that machine and the other two. It was just the Wim. 7 Home premium one.

    Thanks again!!
