Connect two computers xp windows 7

Guess I'll just have to get my lazy tail up and walk over to these machines with flash drive in hand to snag files, or remote desktop into these workstations and then copy files to shared drive on laptop. Thankfully it is only 3 machines I have issue with and not ALL of them Thank God for small favors, I suppose!!!

Do not understand what happened Tuesday, November 24, PM. I have the same problem The share shows up on my XP Media Center laptop but when I try to access it I get the administrative privileges error. What's even more confusing, the same folder I cannot access now I was able to access a week ago. ALL shared folders are set up the same yet some I can access and some I can't.

Monday, November 30, AM. I have a Toshiba Satelite Laptop, and im atempting to network with my old celeron computer. The problem is this. On the Celeron, i can see files and folders on my laptop, copy and paste them, all that jazz. From the laptop i cant. Wich seems to be the problem that everyone is having. To get around this, i created a VPN across my router, without connecting to the internet, and Bam, theres the files on the Celeron.

However, the VPN is mega annoying, it works great, but i have to use a program to set it up, every time i log on. Not major, but a pain in the neck. After all that happened, i had annother problem. I cant connect to the internet when i am connected to both networks, i have to remove the wired one. Does wired take precidence over Wireless? Add Both acounts to both white lists, and add your other pc as a partner. Make sure when you set up you install the VPN Component.

Then just hit VPN and bobs your uncle. Thursday, December 3, AM. U Rock Shooda!! Thank A lot! Wednesday, January 6, AM. I tried every single thing I could find on this forum and others. None of the solutions worked. This is what worked for me. I had the following error codes: 0xb3 To fix this one I started the service Webclient.

Using process monitor, I tested a machine that has windows 7 professional and found out what registry key was being modified by that gpedit setting. It didn't even exist in the home edition.

I tried to run gpedit. Any other thoughts?

You will have to check the firewall section in detail if you use anything other than windows firewall. To test this, you can switch to windows firewall and see if everything works fine.

Error message when you try to access a Windows XP-based network computer: "You might not have permission to use this network resource" Windows 7 computer can see the XP computer but cannot access any drive, folder or file.

The XP computer can access the Windows 7 computer where permissions are set for sharing. Using "Home" network with common network name on all computers.

Windows 7 Professional computers Windows XP Professional computers Sharing is turned on for all computers as required.

Make sure that the value in the Value data box is set to 0, and then click OK. Close Registry Editor. Restart the computer. Friday, December 17, PM. Well i faced the same problem. Tried all the stuff like enable file sharing, setting same workgroup, Nothing helped but this: I noticed that there is a multiple number of network adapters in Device manager. All were hidden so one must click View and enable hidden devices. If there is a huge number of these adapters you have to remove it all.

More can be found here The DevCon command-line utility functions as an alternative to Device Manager. This i have found here microsoft 6to4 adapter and solution is here Automating "6to4" Adapter Removal in Windows - RyanVictory. Saturday, January 22, PM. Hi, I had the same problem like i cant access any folder or shared printer on a xp machine from any other pcs on the network. Tuesday, March 22, AM. Who are you kidding bubbapcguy? I have had years of experience with networking before Windows 7 came along and messed it up!

If you think you know all the answers perhaps you should take a look at the number of posters who, despite their experience, still find this an almost impossible task!

I'm still waiting for one of those suggestions to 'jump up and bite me', but until it does I shall continue, as no doubt many others are, burning the midnight oil! Wednesday, August 3, AM.

Go to "My Network Places" 2. Click on "View Network Connections" 3. Click on "Advanced" tab 5. Click on "Settings" 6. On Windows Firewall window , click on "Exceptions" tab 7. Click OK to all windows opened. Hope this will help.

The solution that appears to have worked for me when two new Win 7 machines were added to a network of three XP machines and they saw some of each other in a mixed fashion, but none saw all the others. Workgroup name was set to same as the XP machines. After all machines were connected I went to each one and renamed the workgroup to a totally new name, then rebooted each machine.

After doing this both 7 machines and the 3 XP machines do file sharing with no problem. Monday, November 14, AM. I have done 3 things. I have readed 2 of them in this forum.

I have change the workgroup names to be coincidents. Tuesday, April 3, PM. Wednesday, August 15, AM. Network magic, basically, sets itself up as a User on each computer, you can do the same thing manually by simply adding a user on each computer with the same Username and Password. You won't have to have that sticky Network Magic folder to deal with then. After unsuccessful try to access xp shared folders, error message contains terms like "permissions", "contact administrator" and "Not enough server Acronis TrueImage , version 10 or or higher, This was exactly the case for me.

This is awesome stuff. Thanks for your help. But here I can share only the public folder only. But no problem, it works for me. Thanks again. I am all set but in network folder i can see the other PC and as soon as I try to open it asks for username and password and viseversa.

Oddly enough, even though I get the error when clicking on the View workgroup computers link, I was able to access the shared folders on my Windows 10 machine. My Windows 10 machine logs in using a Microsoft account, so when it asked for the username and password, I entered my email address and password, which worked. It finally worked after I did two things.
