I had a couple of PCs with Win7 PRO set up to share with advanced

getting it to share its files... so I setup the windows 7 home
network on all three Win 7 PCs and all windows 7 PCs share everything .
But now my XP boxes can't connect to the windows 7 shares, but the 7
boxes can connect to the old XP boxes as they always did., What
happened and why does MS make everything so freaking hard when they
attempt to "simply" things.
Did you turn off password protected file sharing? There is also a
setting for allowing sharing of Public folders, which may need to be on.
