File sharing with multiple OS.

[igardos44]

I have a 3 computer setup. First computer is windows 7 Pro 64 bit and is wire connected to the router. The second computer is XP Pro 32 bit and is also wire connected to the router. The third computer is a laptop XP Home 32bit and is wireless connected to the router. All 3 computers see each other. Computers 1 and 3 can exchange files no problem. Computer 2 can read files on computer 1 and 3. Neither computer 1 or 3 can read any file from computer 2. I turned windows firewall off for the LAN connection and it made no difference. The file I try to read verify that they are set to sharing. I am stumped. I could really use some help with this.

Sorry you are absolutely right.

Try turning off simple file sharing on the XP pro machine. That setting tends to cause problems on XP pro machines.
