System error 58 while accessing shares on Windows 7 from XP

I get the following error message while accessing Windows 7 shares from XP.

System error 58 has occurred. The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.

Both machines are in same domain. Windows XP machine can view and access all other shares except Windows 7. Neither machines have a firewall.

Answer

ok guys here is the answer.

the problem was NTML response was not setup on both sides. I had to setup following on both xp and wind7 and a restart did the trick.

1. GPedit.msc


2. Windows Settings. Expand “Local Policies” and select “Security Options”


3. Alternate : Type secpol.msc to get editor up then


4. Locate “Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level” in the list and double-click it.


5. Change the setting from “Send NTMLv2 response only” to “Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session if negotiated”
