im having problems with my xp computer not finding my windows 7 and my windows 7 not being able to connect to xp, the windows 7 finds the laptop with xp on tho, can anyone help please

@TeamWigan Have you made sure the option "Turn on Network Discovery" is enabled on your Windows 7 computer? (Look at 2:16 in my tutorial.) If this is turned off no matter what you do it will not show up on the XP machine. If it is turned on, I suggest following the video one more time as the video should work under normal conditions.

didn't work. Do I have to have windows xp with service pack 2 or 3?

[hfranklin2988]

@piotrekk8 The desktop was running Windows XP with Service Pack 3. I would suggest updating to service pack 3 if you haven't already. It patches some security vulnerabilities in earlier versions. Good luck!

helped me alot thank you for help!! that password option disabled is all you really need to share between windows xp and 7... again thank you!

[hfranklin2988]

@sergeix4 The password option does enable you to share but if the rest is not setup correctly you can't "find" the other computer to share with. :)

Hey nice video!!!For everyone how has a problem to get things going after you follow the instructions on this video, then on the XP computer go to my computer (look at the left off the screen) and click Set Up Home or Small office network follow the wizard and type exactly the WorkGroup name you have used in the win 7 computer. Boom done it works fine!!!

I previously set up Windows Media Player from my XP desktop to share media files with Playstation 3. Every tutorial for sharing XP and Windows 7 files has failed. Is is because of the file sharing between windows media player XP and Playstation 3? If so, how do I resolve this situation?

thanks for this, has helped a lot. just a question because its getting used over a WiFi network. does this use any of your monthly download usage? cheers
