Networking 7 and XP
Hello all,
I just registered a few minutes ago and I am in need of help on networking 7 and XP.
Heres the situation...
I just installed a 750GB HD on my Win7 computer and its main purpose is for media storage. Mainly iTunes. My wifes computer is running XP. The other day, I was successful in sharing the HD between the 2 computers. Whenever I would go to "My Network Places" on her XP, the HD would show up no problem and we were able to use the HD for iTunes.
I log onto both of our computers this morning and the share to the HD is gone and no where to be found on the XP computer. While in "My Network Places", I click on "View workgroup computers" and I get this message...
"Workgroup is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept."
Thats where im stumped. I have tried everything I can think of to share the HD between the two computers and nothing is working. I can access the internet no problem on the XP computer but it doesnt even see my 7 computer. When I go into "Network" from my Win7, I can see my wifes computer and I can access everything she is sharing. Basically, I can see her computer through mine but her computer wont even acknowledge my Win7 computers existence.
The weird part is that when I had it working the other day, it was working perfectly and never had any problems. We even had a shared External HD between the 2 of us for a while and I never had a problem like this so I am really out of ideas.
If anyone could help out with this, I would greatly appreciate it!
