Windows 7 - Windows XP - sharing - why isn't working?
- by durumdara
Hi!
This is seems to be "hardware" and not "software" / "programming" question, but I need to use this share in my programs, so it is "close to programming".
We had an XP based wireless network.
The server is XP Professional, the clients are XP Home (Notebooks).
This was working well with folder sharing (with user rights, not simple share).
Then we replaced the one of the notebook with Win7/X64 notebook.
First time this can reach the server, and the another client too.
Later I went to another sites, and connect to another servers, another networks.
And then, when I return to this network, I saw that I cannot connect to this server.
Nothing of resources I see, and when try to dbl click on this computer, I got login window, where I can write anything, never I can login...
The interesting part, that:
Another XP home can see the server, can login as quest, or with other user.
The server can see the XP home notebook.
The Win7 can see the notebook's shared folders, and XP home can see the Win7 shared folders.
The server can see the Win7 folders, BUT: the Win7 cannot see the server folders. Cannot see the resources too...
The Win7 is in "work networking group", the group name is not mshome.
I tried everything on the server, I tried to remove MS client, restore it with simple sharing, set guest password, etc., but I lost the possibilities to access this server from Win7.
Does anyone have any idea what I need to see, what I need to set to access these resource - to use them in my programs?
Thanks for every info, link:
