[Solved] Share folder between XP and Seven
Hello there!
I'm new here and already got a big problem, that I ask you guys to help me solve it!
I have a desktop PC with Windows XP Pro SP3 and a notebook with Windows 7 Pro. Both are connected in a wireless router (desktop by cable and notebook "by air"), and they are in the same workgroup. Above some information about them:
:: Desktop (WinXP) ::
- Account without password
- Shared folder: C:\Desk
:: Notebook (Win7) ::
- Account with password
- Shared folder: C:\Note
Both are working fine, and I've shared 7's folder following this tutor:
How to make Windows 7 work with older Windows versions for networking and file sharing.
Now it's the point. When I'm using the notebook, I can easily access "Desk" folder, but when I'm in XP, when I try to access "Note" folder, it asks for a login and a password. So I can only open that folder, if I type the same username and password that I use to login in my notebook.
I'm using Home Group in 7, and also "Note" folder is set with "Everyone" in Security option, so I really don't know why this is happening. I think I can clone my 7's account in XP, but it's not a good solution because I use this notebook in others workgroups.
Thanks a lot!
