A simple "Home Network" for sharing files and printers does not need a "Domain". All that is needed is the "Workgroup". I would suggest removing all references to any Domain that you have created and see if you can connect via your "Workgroup" with the username and password?

You are trying to connect to resree-pc using local account, but it is asking for a domain account (emmett_gateware). This won't work unless you setup both pcs to have domain accounts access.
Why not workgroup both machines?
Test access a share folder and see how you go, if you are able to access a folder from one machine on another, sharing a printer is pretty much the same in that you access a share printer as appose to a share folder. \\computername\shareprintername will work.
See if this helps.
File Sharing - Between XP and W7 (and vice versa)
its never been in a domain only in workgroup, and not home group either.
from what i can tell win 7 home premium can't join a "domain" witch makes the other password prompts even more confusing
i get these prompts seven different ways, any way i can think of to access a network device will bring up these prompts. if i enter the path manually its the same thing and same thing from the link you posted
On vista you might need to add the W7 user account and vice versa.
Can you provide screenshots of the permission tab (of the share folder) and same for the security tab?
the main issue i am having is the password prompts. everything else is good on both boxes. if i can figure out what is causing that...got it. can't get some of my symantec options on my vista box to stay checked...just printed a successful test page by turning off symantec. thanks for the help
