Sharing Win7 Files w/ WinXP
Hello,
I've read the post about sharing WinXP files with Win7. My issue is just the reverse. From my Win7 computer, I have no problem with accessing the WinXP station shared resources. In my attempts to share certain resources on my Win7 computer with the rest of my network I have completed the following:
1) Shared specific directories (folders) in the traditional manner by selecting the share option on the folder right-click drop-down menu.
2) Accessed Home Group (which, by the way, does not have any effect with previous versions of Windows) and Sharing Options.
3) Turned on Sharing options in Advanced Sharing Options. (PUBLIC folder sharing disabled because no files are needed from there)
4) Created Home Group which was inaccessible by previous versions of Windows.
5) Rebooted entire network to no avail.
So... what am I missing? If anyone can fill in any holes I've overlooked or give me other suggestions, I am open to them.
Config: Toshiba Satellite A665
Intel i3 Core proc
Win7 Pro 64-bit
500G HD 7200 rpm
4G RAM
Intel Centrino Wireless A/B/G/N
Thanks!
