Windows 7 share - accessed from windows 10

a post I just read says that you have to give computername\username not just username, but you said you aren't even getting a prompt.

Created a share on c:\ called Test Share.
Shared the folder via Advance Sharing and set allow to all

Using the IP for the computer, found a Win10 box, and was able to open the share and create folder in it.

Thanks all for the response so far. I have tried creating a brand new share with everyone with full control but yet, i cannot browse to that share.

When I browse to the hostname, I get the following error: !

When i browse to the IP of the windows 7 pc, i get the following error:

i'm also sure something simple but cant quite pin point what!

OK this is now working.
The user account I was logged into the Windows 10 PC with didn't exist on the host server.
Once i created the same user and password on the Windows 7 PC it was working!!!

Thanks for posting your resolution.

@Joel I've run into weird issues with Windows in the past. I'd always use the IP address of the file server (Example: \\192.168.53.10\public). Also, when you attempt to map a network drive it gives you the option to connect using different credentials.

Sure, but you shouldn't need to map a drive to make a connection.

His weirdness is that that
\server ip\sharename never gives him the option to give a username and password like we are accustomed to.

I'm sure it's an updated security thing in Windows 10, for example a newer version of kerberos, etc.

I wonder what net use z: \\server\share /user:server\user would kick back

I think if you add /persistent:no to it, you will always get a prompt if I remember correctly

Net use does the same thing your GUI pictures above does.
