do the other machines on the network see and are able to open the items on that particular machine?
and did you remember to go in and share the folder and printer as well as clicking the share files and folders checkbox in your networking options?

It's not working for me -- I created a shared folder -- shared documents of course -- and created a workgroup on my xp machine -- I don't remember the steps... Anyway, I wentto the windows7 box to network places and the list of machines included the windows 7 box itself, my mother's vista machine, a machine called "unknown"and something else I don't remember.I have 2 xp machines, "baseclef" and "trebleclef" and baseclef has files anda printer and embosser that I want shared with everyone else. But it doesn't show up. Any pointers? Thx. --le----- Original Message ----- From: "Trouble" <trouble1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2010 2:11 PM Subject: Re: file and printer sharing with an xp machine You might be able to do a restore and get it back. Now all I did on my xp box was share the folders I wanted on the network, and the vista and windows7 box saw them right off. i opened a shared folder on the vista and window7 box and now my mac sees all 3 ops on the network.. At 10:41 PM 5/11/2010, you wrote:Greetings. I have a public folder on my xp machine that I want to access with my windows7 machine. The xp network setup wizard said that I need to run the network setup program for xp on all machines that aren't xp. Now does this mean only machines that run a windows that predates xp, or does it mean that even vista and windows7 boxes need me to run this software? Icreated the software. It put a setup program on my USB drive. I took thatdrive to my windows7 machine and plugged it in.Oh gross. I ran the program and it failed and ditched execution, and now Ihave no internet -- it zapped the wi-fi connection. Not only that, but windows, or something claiming to be windows is asking me to activate windows. I thought I did activate it. I have activated everything. Ok, you can call me an idiot if you like... i think I earned that one. How do I recover sanity on my windows7 box? It was running so well. You may ask, why don't I just copy the files to it instead of making the oldmachine my server -- the answer is that I have printers and braile embosserthat don't have updated drivers and I wanted to share them on our home network. Has anyone successfully done what I am trying to do? Does anyone have any tips on undoing the damage on my new machine? A machine without internet -- it's like cutting the line to a diver...
