Hi PRABU,

In you create a share folder on the server and the client, could you access between them.

For the error prompt, the network resource that you specified was either temporarily taken offline or is no longer available. It is possible that: (1) the share at the server might have been temporarily deleted; (2) the server that shared the resource might have been turned off; or (3) the permissions might have been changed

And please also try to disabled the firewall on both computers to see it

 And  also disabled the AV software to do a check.

Please also refer to the thread to do a check.

Thanks lot..

I did all these steps you referred, but no results. Now, I enabled the smb1 protocol on registry editor, I can share the files and printers on older versions of windows from windows 7 computer. But, the system shows blue screen error and restarting continuously. Once I disabled the smb1 no issues not able to share files and printers. 

HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters" SMB1 -Type DWORD -Value 1 –Force
