Tried in both

I initially set up the network in 7 I think.... but have since tried from xp. When I do find - computers - computername, the xp machine can find the 7 computer, but it does not appear in "my network places"..... and it used to.

Other Info
A+/N+/Security+ Certified. I break a lot of computer equipment because i get FURIOUSLY ANGRY! The next time some moron gloats about his SSD, ask him if it's SLC or MLC. Not only will he not know, it WILL be MLC because that kid at BestBuy took him to the CLEANERS!! If you don't know the response time on your primary monitor, you got owned. If you do and it's 5ms, you owned yourself.
