    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?

    Milhouse,

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

    this might be a stupid question to ask but can you even ping both computers??

    also have you downloaded the LLTD pack (should come with sp3)
