Sharing Files In Windows 7 and XP

Sharing folders between two Windows 7 machines with the new Home Group feature is an easy process, but the Home Group feature is not compatible with Vista or XP.  For this tutorial we are using Windows 7 and XP Professional SP3 connected through a basic wireless router.

• First make sure both machines are
•     members of the same Workgroup
•    which by default is named WORKGROUP.

 

• On the Windows 7 machine go into Control Panel \ All Control Panel Items \ Network and Sharing Center then click on Change advanced sharing settings.

You will want to verify the following settings under Advanced Sharing Settings for the Home or Work and Public profile.
