Can't access shared files on other computer. Other computers can access them but one can't!

[aolsux00]

So the computer we are trying to access actually can be accessed by other computers. It used to be accessible on this one, but now its not. When I click on the computer, it asks the user ID and password, but when I enter those, it says they are wrong. They are correct though and I even made a new admin account and tried logging in with those credentials and it says they are wrong.


I've tried restarting both computers, I tried pinging the computer with the files on it (does successfully), turned the antivirus and firewall off, etc... Both computers are set to a private network, etc... Any suggestions?


I believe the computer we are trying to access is running Windows 7 (might be 10 though, can't remember), and the computer that is trying to connect is running Windows 7.

After changing ISPs, the computers went to "public" in network settings, but I changed all to "private"

ensure your file and print sharing is turned on, sometimes updates and generic settings turn them off by default.
control panel
network and sharing center
check file and print sharing enabled.
