Network Connection to Windows 7

[davo1979]

Hello. I set up a network connection between my Mac and Windows 7 Pro. It has been working great up until yesterday. I can connect from Win 7 to my Mac but can't connect from Mac to Windows 7. I have gone to Server and added the ip address, the authentication box comes up and I type my username PLEX and password consists of five numbers as it did before but I get the message..

There was a problem connecting to the server 192.168.0.xx

Has anyone had this happen before?

Very annoying to say the least.

System Info..

Mac Pro 1,1
El Capitan 10.11.6
Both machines wired connection.

Can you still ping that Windows 7 Pro machine? Always be able to ping a machine you trying to connect to!

Have you restarted either computer lately?
