[HELP] Connect Win 7 Ultm - XP Pro SP3 Using LAN Cable

Greetings to all..

I'm a new member here. And also this my second day running my PC on win 7 ultimate. Not yet activated.

This last few hours i've got a lot of dizzy trying to connecting my old laptop with win xp into my PC win 7. And surprisingly win 7 use a new 'method' on sharing files with another computers.

Usually when i connect my 2 win xp pc, all i need to do is just setting up the IP addres for both pc and then plug up the LAN cable. Done, the xp connect themselves.

I did this one on my win 7. But it doesn't works perfectly. Both my pc and laptop were connected. i can see them on my windows explore network menu. But i can't browse the containing folder that shared on xp pc. And also on my win 7 pc.

Basicly, both my pc looks like already connected, BUT I CAN'T browse the shared folders that manually i set up to be share.

Plese help me how to connect win xp and win 7 ultimate properly.

Thank you.
Big regards.

Hi Raditz and welcome,

Did you add EVERYONE to permissions in Windows 7 shared folders?

Did you enable network sharing in the advanced Sharing Settings?

Here is an image. I'm not on my 7 Machine.

Yes, I did add EVERYONE to permissions in Windows 7 shared folders.
Yes, I did enable network sharing in the advanced Sharing Settings.

Now my win 7 PC can browse (read and write) the folder of XP that I shared. But my XP can't browse the shared folder on win 7.

Does anybody can resolve this?

Do you have password enabled activated?

Try to disactivate.

Well.. maybe that was the problem
Just like the one i found here : Offline files between XP Pro and Windows 7

I'm a little busy this day
I'll check it soon.

Thank you.
Big regards.
