Help Networking WIN 7 and XP
OK, I have one WIN 7 laptop, and 2 XP laptops. I have set my sharing on my WIN 7 folders to share between machines with a particular .net passport. So it is pretty restrictive. On XP machine 1 all is well, I can network to the WIN 7 machine just fine, open all folders, files etc.. However, on the XP machine #2 I can set up a network connection it seems (I can map a drive in XP2 to the WIN 7 machine), but when I try to open any folder on the WIN7 machine it says they are "not accessable". Now this happens on XP 2 when I try to open a folder on the WIN 7 machine that has files, if the folders just have subfolders I can open the folder, but when I drive down to a subfolder that has files I get the "not accessable" message. Something is set up different between these two XP machines and I do not know what that is.
I have checked and all 3 machines are set-up with the same .net passport under user accts. Also I can access the two XP machines just fine from the WIN 7 machine, I just cannot access the WIN 7 machine from XP #2.
