How can I get Windows 7 to see a Server 2008 File Server?

by jonm110 . Updated 15 years, 9 months ago

I have a second computer that I have set up as a File Server. However I’m not going to domain it, I want it only as a workgroup machine. Now I realize that to access it there has to be an account on the File Server for me to login to, however whenever I look for it on the network in my other Windows 7 machine, I can’t see it. Both machines are on the same private IP subnet and network discovery is turned on. I also have it to where it doesn’t use a homegroup. I’ve tried everything I can think of but still can’t get the Windows 7 machine to see the Server, even though the Server CAN see the Windows 7 machine. Help would be much appreciated.
