Solve : viewing XP sp3 files with Win7 problem? |
|
Answer» I can see my files on my Win7 laptop okay (from my XP Desktop) and I turned off my firewall just to be sure it wasn't causing problems on my Belkin N+ router but after turning off my passwords for folder sharing (Laptop Win7) etc. I am still unable to diagnose why I am unable to see my XP desktop. I have never had this problem before I checked the Microsoft site to be sure all updates were installed on the XP desktop. Win7 LIKES to appear to be set up like "just run this program and it will diagnose your problem" utility. It isn't "all that". The last network diagnostic I PERFORMED suggested something was wrong with my permissions.......is there a reason why permissions should be set up differently than when I was running an XP laptop? Anyone have any useful suggestions? I'm not that inexperienced here I have an amazing degree of devices connected to my home network but the simple sharing of a file sharing setup mystifies me, after all it all worked before I purchased this Win7 laptop. When I connected the laptop I had to reconnect everything again as I had some devices ie; BluRay player connected without WPA it was connected only by MAC address.

The strange thing going on here btw is that I can indeed access the Windows7 system without any issues from the XP system.The following is the ping results from my Win7 laptop to my XP Desktop IP.
