Sharing files between Windows 7 and XP Home
(sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it)
I am unable to share files from my XP Home PC on Windows 7. I can however share those from Windows 7 on the XP PC!
I have explored all the relevant settings I can find in Windows 7 and no change.
I have both PC's in the same workgroup and I login into each with the same username/password. I have file sharing set-up on both.
I have tried it with Network discovery turned on and turned off.
I haven't created a Homegroup on Windows 7 as I asume that is just for sharing with another W7 PC. In any case it tells me I can't set it up without IPv6 configured. Tho' puzzlingly the n/w card shows that IPv6 IS configured!
Both have the same security installed i.e., Windows firewall and AVG Free.
Any ideas would be very welcome.
Thanks
Nigel
