Sharing permissions problem
Hi!
I have 3 computers on my network, 2 running Windows 7, one running XP SP3. Basic sharing bewteen all PCs works, however I can't seem to setup any more specific permissions.
What I want to do is share a number of folders between the two windows 7 PCs, and a different set of folders with the XP PC.
Now I thought I could use the handy homegroup feature to do that, use regular sharing options to allow access for the XP PC and all...but I can't make either windows 7 PC recognize the other's homegroup.
I've tried to create one on each, the other wouldn't find it. I've tried to create one on each at the same time with the same pass, they still would not find each other.
All despite the fact that regular sharing works.
Are there any other (better) options to specifiy which folders are to be visible to which PC?
I'd like to resort to creating an account on my PC which the others can use to access their specific files only if there is no other way, as I'd like to keep the whole thing password free.
I'd appreciate any help :)
