Windows XP computer won't share with Windows 7 computer
Hi,
I have several Windows XP 64bit professional computers that have been sharing fine with a Windows 7 computer. I use the same user name and password for all the computers. But recently a couple of them have the problem that when I try to access their discs from the Windows 7 machine the dialogue box comes up saying Enter Network Password. I put in the same password for the "Name of windows7 computer"\Username I always have and it just comes back with the same dialogue box. When I try to access the problem XP 64bit computer's drive from another XP 64bit computer there is no problem.I've also tried putting in the same Username and password into the "Use another account" box and no difference. I on the XP 64bit computer under sharing I have Everyone given Full Control, read and write all ticked. I also have the single user name with all these permissions ticked. Please could you give some advice.
