Problems Networking Win 7 to XP
I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm trying to network a Windows 7 PC with an XP PC.
The XP machine can see and access the Win 7 PC, but the Win 7 does not see the XP machine. When I ping the xp machine by computer name, it says "could not find host "Name". Please check the name and try again".
When I ping the XP machine by IP address, it sends and receives a response.
I've turned off the firewalls on both PC's, gone through the Network Share options (Discovery - on, sharing -on, public sharing - on, 128-encryption - on, password - off). Win 7 machine is set to "Work Network", both PC's are in same "Workgroup".
