Help with basic shared documents access between XP & W7
my new laptop is less than a week old.
hp dv6-2044ca.
and i've been trying to configure a home network with the workgroup, WORKGROUP
i need to share files between a XP Desktop and a Laptop that has Windows 7.
i mustve followed a lot of guides and tips by now but i cannot get it to work!
on my laptop, it recognizes the XP computer, but fails to open it
it says i have the naming wrong, yet i know it is correct.
diagnose doesn't help and Pinging the ip address says request timed out 4 times, thne something about 100% packet loss.
on the xp computer side, it recognizes my laptop and can access files
as for network settings, it should be all correct cause i followed this guide that i found on a post by a microsoft worker (i think)
i just cannot figure out what is wrong.
and the error is 0x80070035
my purpose for this is to access Desktop and the printer connected to it
as well as the shared documents folder,..
