Hi All,

This problem is now resolved with the help of Microsoft Tech Support. All I
had to do was to uncheck the simple file sharing option unders Windows
Explorer/Tools/older Option/View.. Go to the last parameter and uncheck it.
Apparently you don't want simple file sharing. This option may have been
checked by new updates applied after the configuration was set up and
working.

Anyway the problem is now resolved.
