Network Visible But Can't Share Xp to Win7
I have a network with 6 XP Pro SP3 systems ans 2- Win7 64 Ultimate systems. I have them set up on a Work Group with all of the same names and print and file sharing enabled.
When I look at the network from the network icon I see the groups name and all of the systems are listed. I can share files between all of the XP systems from anywhere including the Win7 machines. The problem is that When I try to access the Win7 machines from the XP systems I receive the error you are not authorized to access this system. I have the systems set up as a work network and have turned off the passwords for sharing.
I have completely turned off the firewall and it still won't let me access the Win7 machines. I am listed as the administrator on all of the machines and they all are set to allow anyone to change things.
Anyone have any ideas? I am pretty sure that this just happened after one of the latest MS updates but I can't seem to find where the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
