Got my new TP-Link router up and running all is well, my spare rig in ther conservatory is connecting to the net fine and it is accessing my main rig but I can not connect to it from my main rig I have done everything I can think of.
So it's over to you kind people start a check list

Windows can't communicate with the device or resource (TREV1-PC)

It is available but is not responding to connection attempts. A firewall or network security policy on the remote computer might be blocking the connection on port "file and print sharing resource".
can't view the log file.

any help will help

All open/owned/shared with everyone, all permissions are ok.
Managed to get this from event viewer :

OS versions on the two machines?

The first, and easiest, thing to check for is a firewall problem.

Disable the firewalls on both PCs and see if the problem goes away. Switch the firewalls back on afterwards whether it helps or not.

Report back.

Windows 7 Pro on both machines, will try disabling firewalls now.

Also make sure file and printer sharing is enabled via Sharing center

Getting this mesage from network diagnostics log

The remote computer isn’t responding to connections on port 445, possibly due to firewall or security policy settings, or because it might be temporarily unavailable. Windows couldn’t find any problems with the firewall on your computer.
