Hi I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise (32bit) on my laptop. For some time I'm not able to access other machines using \\192.168.xxx.xxx. I've installed VM Ware player on my machine few days back but I don't remember if it happened just after that or there is some other reason behind it.

EDIT:- I've disabled VMWare Bridge Protocol but still no effect.

Please help me.

PS:- I've used both wireless and wired networks. Network sharing is enabled and I can ping other machines but cannot access network shares. I get following message:

\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx You might not have permission to use this network resource. 
Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have acess 
permissions. 

The request is not supported.

EDIT (2):- Network Discovery, File and Printer Sharing, Folder sharing are all on.
