    Windows 7 Connect to Windows XP


    I had my Windows 7 desktop connecting to my Windows XP Media Server and then I disabled the network adapter and after re-enabling it, I can no longer connect to the Media Server.

    I can ping it, it does ask me for a user name and password when trying to view the folder in Explorer but no user name or password will work.

    Any ideas?
