XP does not see Windows 7
I am trying to use my Windows 7 on my home network and I am having some
trouble. I have two XP machines, one is professional and the other is home and I am using Windows 7 Professional. I shared a folder in Windows 7, but in XP Professional, in My Network Places, it does not even see the Windows 7 machine though I can ping the ip address. In Windows 7, I can see my XP Professional machine, but I am unable to see the shared folders and if I click on the machine I am asked for a username and password even though I set the permissions to everyone. It is a home network and all the machines are close by so I don't need to really be using a username and password and at this point I am just interested in getting the network to work. Any ideas? I have looked all over the network, but nothing really helped. |
