Windows 7 not seeing XP computer on WORKGROUP
Ok so I have 3 computers at home using three different versions of Windows:
Desktop - XP
Laptop #1 -Vista
- This computer is connected to the internet through a cable modem. The cable modem has a NETGEAR wireless router in tandem.
- This computer can see Laptop #1 and Laptop #2 in the WORKGROUP.
Laptop #2 - Windows 7
- This computer uses it's wireless card to attach to the network.
- This computer can see Desktop and Laptop #2 in the WORKGROUP.
All computers are in the WORKGROUP. I have Windows Firewall on all three. For the life of me I cannot seem to figure out why Windows 7 is not seeing the XP computer. Win7 has been set to network discovery and Public Folder sharing (explaining why the other two computers can see it).
- This computer uses it's wireless card to attach to the network.
- This computer can see Laptop #2 but CANNOT see Desktop (running XP).
Any ideas?
Thank you.
