I have an acer aspire netbook(XP) and a desktop (windows 7) a thomson router and a printer.I had them working together in a network but it's broken. I can access my desktop from the netbook and internet access is ok from both and so is the printer, but I can't access the netbook from the desktop, though I've tried everything I can think of. I've checked workgroup and computer names,file sharing,services started,guest accounts etc. I can see the netbook from the desktop, but can't get access. One other thing puzzles me which I don't know if it's relevant is, in windows 7 it won't let me turn on network discovery in network and sharing. It's obviously not stopping the netbook accessing files on the desktop, but I thought I should be able to change things if I wanted. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
