Ok hang in there. The user that is logged into the XP machine, is that SAME EXACT USER administered on the 7 Machine? Probably not. So when you connect, you have to connect as a user on that local machine. So if you are attempting to gain access into the 7 machine, make certain you give the username and password of a user on the 7 machine. As the 7 machine does not know about users on the XP, and vice versa.

Make sense?

Answer 2 / 3

Ok, when you connect with the xp machine, are you using your xp machine credentials? If so, that is wrong. You need to provide the credentials of a user on the 7 machine. Map a drive and select "connect with other credentials" as in:



....then make certain you give the windows 7 machine name and user in the format of \\machine_7_name\user_name_you_login_with

Answer 3 / 3

It seems as though your scope and problem has changed. It started out as XP, and now you are asking about an 8 machine.
Version 8 has a serious network issue, visit miscrosoft and read about for your self. That is why 8.1 came out. Get the 8.1 update.

What SP of 7 are you running?
