    Network lan connection win xp and 7 computer, how to?


    computer #1: windows 7 hp
    computer #2: windows xp pro

    I managed to lan cable connect and share folders/files between 2 windows 7
    computers. And the same between 2 windows xp computers.

    Then I wanted to lan cable connect and share folders/files between a windows 7 hp and a windows xp pro computer.

    I tried for hours, running the same settings in circle.
    At a point it worked. But I don't know why it suddenly worked.
    The difficult thing was, to make the network icon appear on "the other computer".

    Do you have a detailed step by step manual, on how to config settings in
    order to share documents/folders/files?

    Have you tried this? File Sharing - Between XP and W7 (and vice versa)
