How do you connect windows 7 to an xp network to share files. I got Windows 7 64-bit ultimate and windows xp sp3. All I want to do is use files from the xp network on the 7 one.
thanks

The click "on" "network discovery"

Its still not working. Both computers are on the same workgroup and connected to the same router. would running a virtual windows 7 on the xp machine work? I know connecting 2 windows 7s is easy cause of the workgroups.

You don't have to do anything much different in Win7 from sharing in XP, all my linux and XP machines co-exist perfectly with my Win7 machines..

I have no problem sharing between Win2K, WinXP and Win7. Vista is an entirely different matter. In my six-system home network nobody talks to/from my wife's Vista system. I would have come here hat-in-hand a long time ago asking for help, but I really wanted to save myself a public forehead-slapping moment.

Someday she may come to me, all sweetness and light, whispering "YO! ADMIN!" and my cover of ignorance will be blown and I'll be back.
