I am having trouble accessing a Windows share on another computer that is in a Workgroup.
We currently have 2 networks:
- NetworkA which is a domain
netA.net - NetworkB which is a Workgroup
netB local
The two networks share a gateway device. It is a Watchgaurd 510.
Each network has its own interface, each network its own subnet.
I would like to be able to access a file share from a workstation in NetworkB (Running Windows XP) from a workstation in NetworkA (running Windows 7).
Currently I have a policy on the Watchgaurd device to allow all traffic from NetworkA to NetworkB.
I can perform other tasks as if the device was actually on the same network. i.e. ping, remote desktop.
However, I can't access file shares or remote management. I never get a prompt for credentials I just time out and get a path not found dialog.

How are you connecting between the 2 machines, is it a mapped network drive, give this a try.
dos prompt on source, net use v: \destination\machine\share /user:username passwordhere
on the destination see if you can run a netstat (tcpdump), in addition on your watchguard device are you allowing file and print sharing.
