I've got a weird problem please someone help me troubleshoot. Googling didnt get me very far:

Sony Vaio laptop running windows 7 ultimate x64.
unable to connect with my desktop running windows 7 ultimate x64.
the desktop can connect to the laptop.

All on same workgroup - check
Computer visible in Vaio's "network computers" - check
Ping computer by name - YES it CAN!
but when i double click on the computer which is visible in the network computer - "error 0x80070035" "network path not found"


Enabled and started on both computers:

NO firewall.
File sharing, all the settings correct.
Both have same user names and passwords just in case.
Computer browser, DHCP client, DNS client, server, TCP/IP netbios helper, workstation.
IP4 enable netbios over tcp/ip - makes no difference.



PS - i tried using 'homegroup' everything setup fine but still the same result.
i dont understand the ipconfig results but perhaps that could be useful?

I doubt anyone can solve it (tried clean reinstall on another partition and things worked fine, but i wanted to keep this one) :(
