Windows 8.1 cannot connect to Libraries on Windows 7 device

I have a Desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate and a Surface Pro  with Windows 8.1 Enterprise.


From my Windows 8.1 I am able to connect to a folder shared to the homegroup from my Windows 7 machine.  However I am not able to connect to a library on my Windows 8.1 machine.   The library shows up when I click it nothing happens.  On my Windows 7 machine I am able to access Libraries and Folders shared from my Windows 8.1 device.


The following have been done as troublshooting steps:

 Previously the group was created with Windows 7.  I recreated it with Windows 8.1 with the same results.

 I have diabled both firewall

 I have verified that IPV6 is enabled on both computers and pinged the IPV6 address to verify that they were responding

 The time/date on both devices are in sync.


Any ideas?
