Laura,
I don't know if this will help, but it seems to me that when I set up a couple
of Windows 7 machines, they automatically
were configured to use the Windows 7 home network protocol. My Windows XP
computer could not use that so I
was unable to share any files with it. I had to set up all my computers to use
the older less secure network. I don't
remember exactly where I did that, though, and possibly both can be supported,
but the description of your problem
reminds me of what I had experienced. Do you remember if you were prompted for
a home network password or
something like that on your Windows 7 machines at some point?
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson
