Accessing share on new Server 2K8

[micromko]

I am running Vista on my laptop. I just created a new server 2K8 and set up a share on it. My officemate can access this from his Vista computer, but i can't from mine. I get this error: "The network location cannot be reached. For information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help."

The permissions are the same on the share for both of us. I can ping the server, just can't get to the share via IP or host name.

Any idea?

turn off third party firewalls if you got any as well, then try.

i agree with schtek. Turn off all built-in firewalls.
go to Server Manager > Configuration > Windows Firewall > Right click properties.

Make sure you turn off Firewall state on Domain Profile, Private Profile and Public Profile.

by the way, difference between the profiles

Domain Profile – applied automatically when your server is connected to the Active Directory domain.
Private Profile – you can assign this profile manually when your server is connected to any private address (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.31.x.x, etc.)
Public Profile – applied by default when your first connect the server to any unknown network.
