Share files between 7 and XP
I'm trying to set of a shared drive on my XP machine for my other computers to use (cheaper than a NAS), unfortunately I'm having difficulty with my only windows 7 machine. The windows 7 machine will not display any other machines in the "see full map" thing they have. Here are the symptoms I have thus far:
- XP can ping 7, but 7 cannot ping XP
- Both are visible to each other with NET VIEW but neither can be accessed by
NET VIEW \\name- XP can see 7 in "my network places"
- NETBIOS is enabled on both machines
- They are both on the same work group
- Firewall is turned off on XP
- The shared Public folder isn't visible in XP
- On Windows 7 all advanced sharing settings are turned on
- On Windows 7 I am not in any homegorup, the network is set to work
any help would be greatly appreciated
