    Win 2000 To Win 7 Sharing?


    Hi guys.

    I am looking for a hand with a Network Sharing Issue.

    I just got a Laptop with Win 7 I need to get to files on a Partion of my hard drive on a Win 2000 SP4 machine.

    I have a Linksys network system and i can see the Win 2000 Machine on my Laptop but it will not connect.

    Keeps promting me for a password

    I think i am set up as the Admin on both machines (Win 7 is new to me) and dont have alot of seat time with this yet.

    Is there a way to transfer files between them. or should i just use a pen drive?

    I will need to transfer large amounts of data between the too machines and having the sharing setup is prefered!

    Thanks Guys!

    Hi michilson,

    This tutorial
    from microsoft should get you started, but come on back if you have difficulty setting up the network! Good luck :)
