Win 7 and XP file sharing issue
Just after your help guys.
i have 2 PCs that i am trying to get file sharing going, but seem to only get 1 direction file sharing.
PC1: winxp pro sp3 (wireless connection)
PC2: win7 pro (ethernet connection)
extra info:
same workgroup
different computer name
same subnet mask & gateway
tried DHCP and static IPs for both PCs
file sharing enabled, password off
same username account.
have followed the link/guide from howtogeek website..
enabled NETBIOS over TCP/IP
on PC1(XP) i can access the PC2(W7) shared folders/files, Read&Write, ping OK = everything GOOD.
on PC2(W7) i cannot access the PC1(XP) shared folders
- I can remote desktop, VNC, ping to PC1(XP)
- I can see PC1(XP) in the workgroup but can't access it.
Firewalls are disabled on both PCs.
Can anyone help me out?
Cheers
