Hi there
I have NO problem with an XP machine accessing shares on W7.
The W7 machine can SEE the XP computer but can't access any of its resources (diagram 1)
However if I choose Connect network drive and type the actual name of the share (for example Link Removed I get the password prompt (which is fine -- that's what I want) and can then attach the XP share. (diagram 2).
I thought this problem was FIXED in an earlier build of W7. I shouldn't have to go through this B/S to connect to a simple share on a LOCAL network.
Cheers
