Another Windows 7 to Xp networking issue
Okay, I just got a new laptop with windows 7 on it and I am trying to network it to my xp home network. On my xp computers, laptop and desktop, I can see my windows 7 computer but can't access it. Even turned off the easy file sharing and still can't access it. Cant even ping the windows 7 from them. The windows 7 laptop doesn't see either of the xp computers. I can ping them from the windows 7 laptop but can't actually see them on the windows 7 laptop. I am using a linksys router and can access the internet just fine on the windows 7 laptop and it is connected wirelessly. I have read through several threads trying to figure this out but most people can see the xp from the 7 but mine is the oposite. I made sure they are all setup on the same workgroup name that is how the xp can see the 7 but that is as far as i can get. Any help from anyone is greatly appreciated. Ask any questions you might have to get more info if needed.
