Windows 7 Only One Way Networking between W7 and XP?

[dvoigt]

I recently added a Windows 7 Professional computer to my home network. The other PCs are still running in XP SP3. The new W7 computer can communicate one way with the XP computers fine (retrieving files and printers); however, even though I believe I have filled all the "sharing" blocks on the W7 computer, the XPs do not find either the printers on the W7 computer or the C drive. They only find "Default" & "Public" users going from the XP to the W7! Where did I miss something?

I can only get 1 drive working so far.

I had a similar problem with two Win 7 machines. Checking "Client for Microsoft Networks" in network properties resolved it for me.

I just posted but it doesnt appear to have shown up. If it does, I apologize for the double post. This is what I found. Add "Everyone" to the Security and Sharing sections of the drive or folder you want to share and give full permissions. This seems to work. I even removed the identical login name on the share in the security tab and the sharing tab. (Kept the account though)
