OK, I have the following situation
Currently I have networked through a BT homehub my old XP rig and my new Windows 7 rig. I can connect to the windows 7 rig through my XP rig, but not vice versa.
What I have tried doing
Making sure that both computers are in the same workgroup
Giving the PCs identical accounts with identical passwords - both are admin
Making sure that "advanced" networking on my XP Home PC is turned on
The shares I want to see are shared
It seems to work - I can actually see the shares on the XP machine but it says I do not have permission to access the shares, even though I should tehcnically have permission (as the folder is shared)
Anyone know what I am missing or have seen / fixed this problem before?
Edit: I have Windows 7 7100 RC on my win 7 PC and XP SP3 on my XP machine.
