    How do I connect Windows XP computer to Windows 7?


    Hello,

    I have a computer running Windows XP and a computer running Windows 7, and I want to view files from the XP computer on the computer with Windows 7. I can access my Windows 7 computer from the Windows XP computer but I can't view the files from the Windows XP computer on my Windows 7 computer. I've tried using the Microsoft instructions but they didn't help. I made sure that the computer was on, I made sure that it appeared on the network, and the workgroup name is the same.

    Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Please help.

    Thank you,
