I can view the 7 (Ultimate) files on the XP (Home) but not the other way round. When I try to connect it gives me this message:
Attachment 20944
I've tried using every username and password I can think of but it won't let me access the XP computer.
Notice the writing at the bottom:
'Logon Failure: unknown user name or bad password'
Any ideas?
the important bit, i think, for you is to "turn off password protected sharing"
good luck!
Thanks for trying to help but it didn't help me. When I try to access the XP PC it will ask me for the username and password. I've tried everything I can think of but it won't let me access it. They are in the same workgroup (WORKGROUP) and I did everything on the tutorial. The XP PC can access THE one with Windows 7 with no trouble. Is there any way I can check the sharing options and find out the network password (and username) in XP Home?
I've turned off password protected sharing in Windows 7 but how do I turn it off in XP Home?
i'm sorry, but i don't know myself.
hopefully another forum user will be along soon to help with your problem.
That's ok mickey megabyte because I've posted this on Yahoo Answers but go no replies.
Choose the second option, "use another account"
the username password you have to enter is what you use to go into the xp machine when you are sitting behind it.
Use the name/pass combo you use to get into the physical xp machine.
Or create a new name/pass combo on the XP machine, and use that.
I've tried all the suggestions but they don't work, unfortunately
