Simple file sharing between Win 7 and Win XP has become a Nightmare
I spent a couple of days over a year ago trying to get my windows 7 64 bit laptop to simple file share with my wife's win xp 32 bit. Since then, something happened.. don't really know what.. I think the cat looked at the laptop funny and that's all it took.
Both me and my wife's PC has had multiple repair installs on top of our systems. After her last repair install, the network stopped working. I have spent a month going over tutorials all over the net trying to get our network back. All I wanna do is simple file sharing between our computers. I'd see her drive in Network in Windows Explorer and drag and drop files between the two PC's.
I think I need to start over, from scratch and try to follow a better formula for getting this done. I'm to the point of overkill and now I'm just getting confused. I need to be sure everything on both computers is set up right.. and after that troubleshoot from there if it still doesn't work.
Can anyone provide me with the best tutorial link to get this done?
Thank you.
