If you connect from one machine to the other, and get a prompt to put in the username and password, this is what it wants. I don't know what other setups you have with Homegroups or whatever but if this is a connection/logon issue than that's what it is.
I don't know if my tut in my sig on file sharing helps, but have a look at it. File and Printer sharing needs to be turned on in W7.
Sorry to other guys if i am interupting your attemp to help the OP.
Same as it was in post #34. I checked the bios on both machines and except for the time format they were both correct to time. That's the last thing I did.
I'll I'll run through your file sharing tut tomorrow. but at first glance it looks familiar. I might have already seen it...or something like it.
I'm sure it something simple that you've missed. Can't guarantee anything if your setup is one which includes firewalls, third party apps, homegroups etc.
Well the Op already messed up by attempting to create a Homegroup when there were other Op systems involved besides Windows 7. Although he left the Homegroup that may or may not still be causing problems.
I have already covered the basics and we are well past that point by now. I would advise the Op to reinstall both XP and Windows 7 and start from scratch. That is certainly how I would handle this if my own system had this type of problem. Move to a safe distance and nuke the Op system from space....It's the only way to be sure.
Yeh, start from scratch sometime can be the quickest path to solving many issues. Can u redirect your reps to me, so when i rep u, it come to me?
I was in the army and dealt with artillery, i could take care of that for you good sir... just need your GPS coordinates[/QUOTE]

I have to take that with a grain of salt but if it's anywhere near to being true, it's another strike against the bozos at Microsoft and against Windows 7. It's no wonder most people stuck with XP when vista was released. at this point, I am wishing I had done the same.
Again I point out the number of people in this sub-topic having problems networking...problems identical or similar to mine. It shouldn't be this hard, folks.
Can the OP please advice the decision as to rebuild the OS, otherwise i think we are all lost. 6 Pages and no solve warrants a rebuild.
