Do you know of any sharing issues from W7 to XP? I set up the network sharing on both my desktop and my old, old, old laptop. I have no problem reading files from my laptop (running XP pro) on my desktop (running W7). But there seems to be issues going the other way. I am merely typing in the IP address and it's giving me a list of the shared folders. When I click on one of the shared folders it says I don't have permissions. I have attempted to remove all security barriers but maybe I am missing something. Is this just W7 being "smart?"
