I've had the same problem for a long time. I blamed Windows 7 x64, because I have a laptop running Windows 7 x32 Ultimate and no problems accesing shared network folders on that.

I have ESET Smart Security, maybe I didn't configure the network correctly when I first accessed the WiFi with the x64 computer — it was the firewall! Seemed so obvious once I had it working. I disabled the firewall on ESET and it worked, later I realized what was wrong …

Try it on your antivirus, or Windows Firewall. I've disabled Windows Firewall and only have ESET's firewall on. If you allowed sharing when you first added your WiFi, you're set, no problems there. The problem starts when adding the WiFi to the computer. If you selected "do not allow" sharing and when Windows pops up asking if it's a home/work/public network, you select public, your're screwed.

For trusted networks, select both on antivirus firewall and windows network: trusted/home, allow/home, or whatever term your antivirus uses.
