Netorking between 7 and xp;Cant get it right
Hi,
I installed windows 7 on a second comp of mine and i am having the hardest time getting them to share files between each other.on the xp computer i am able to access the public folders on the win7 comp and connect to my router.the c drive and desktop i enabled to be shared shows but when i click on it i get a error saying i dont have permission & network path cant be found.however on the windows 7 comp i can access the folders i enabled to be shared on xp jus fine.
can anyone help?

Try this
go to run...
type gpedit.msc
select Windows Settings under Computer Configuration
select Security Settings
select Local Policies
select Security Options
go to > Microsoft network client: Send unencrypted password to third-party SMB servers...set it to ENABLED
try to access stuff now.

Milhouse,
Do you do this on the XP computer or the Win7 computer or Both?

Do that to your 7 machine
good luck mang

try also:
Go to Network and Sharing Center, Choose Homegroup and Sharing Options-> Advanced Sharing Settings.
Scroll down to Password Protected Sharing and select "Turn off password protected sharing"

Thanx milhouse,ima try that out later on tonight.
I should of posted more info but i deleted the homegroup network i set up,because i read you didnt need it to share files between the computers and it wasnt helping me any i still can access my xp files from 7 but not vise versa unless i put it in a public folder
However i do have it set to no password n i have share files enabled.hopfully milhouses method will work
