Have a wireless network adapter. 1 desktop - window 7, 1 Laptop - window 7. What other info. do you require?
Thank you,

go into network and sharing center on each computer, over on the left top you will see Change Advanced Sharing settings, turn off password protected sharing. Right clik on the folder or drive you wish to share and set sharing to everyone, full control....reboot both computers, you should be able to access the folder now.

Hi DMHolt57,
Thank you for your responce.
I opened up Network and Sharing Center - Where do i find the control to turn off the password potection sharing?
Just passing through but if you are running homegroup for networking it requires a password.
Still haven't solved this problem.
System info: 32 bit, Window 7 Home premium
Trying to network my two computers, has I mentioned before I can see both computers on network.
Getting error message I need to enable IPV6 on my laptop, I have followed all instruction to enable however it doesn't work.
Is there a better way to network my two computers and share files?
Thank you,
Margie
There are tutorials on this forum that show you how to create a workgroup or a "homegroup" which is a Win 7 feature that are actually different from each other in how they are setup. That might help you better. But if you want more help this way you need to tell us how all networking is physically connected. Router, PC, Laptop, modem, etc.
Scroll through till you see what's relevant to your issue. https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/?filter[2]=Networking%20Internet
Hi Metalmania37,
Netgear Router
Laptop - Window 7 32 bit Wi-fi
Second computer - Desktop Window 7 32 bit, thing (don't know what you call it right now) that picks up the signal from router and allows me to connect to internet.
Hope this help you help me.
Thanks
Go to your Control Panel->Homegroup. Are any of the options checked off?
Also if you can look at the settings in Network and Sharing Center->Advanced sharing settings and post a screen shot.
You can post a screen shot of the single window by using tool called "snipping tool" in the start menu->accessories folder.
