Does file sharing need UPnP running?
I have 5 machines on a home network. Folder can be shared from 4 of the 5.
The one that does not work can share the other machines folders however. When I look at services running I find that the machine that will not share is not running universal plug and play device host unlike the others. Is it needed for file sharing? The reason I am asking is because I cannot start it I just get the message "could not start universal plug and play device host service on local computer Error 5 Access is Denied". If Upnp not the problem I will leave it alone otherwise any ideas how I get it started I have started dependant services HTTP and SSDP. Any ideas much appreciated.

The answer is no, sorted it thanks it was a virus protection problem.
Disabled but that not enough had to be uninstalled. "Shaun" wrote: I have 5 machines on a home network. Folder can be shared from 4 of the 5.
