Did you set up Homegroup for networking in Windows 7?
Homegroup only works with Windows 7 computers and will not talk to your XP computer.
If so, you will need to change the networking system to one that XP can use.
On your Windows 7 computer, click the Start button at the bottom left of the screen, then go to the Control Panel and choose Network and Sharing Center. Click the link under "view your active networks" (if you've set up a Homegroup,the link should say "home network").
In the next window choose "Work network" that will switch you from a homegroup to a workgroup so your two computers can talk to each other. Before you can network the computers, you must assign the same workgroup name to both of them and SHARE folders in Explorer.
I have found a way to disable the nagging password box in Windows 7 (probably Vista too).
1. Click <b>Start</b>
2. Under you user picture, right click <b>Network</b>
3. Choose <b>Properties</b> (this opens <i>Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center</i>)
4. Click <b>Choose homegroup and sharing options</b> in the lower list (this opens <i>Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Homegroup</i>)
5. Click <b>Change advanced sharing settings...</b> (this opens <i>Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings</i>)
6. The setting right before the last one is: <b>Password protected sharing</b>!
7. Choose<b> Turn off password protected sharing</b> and you are good to go <b>without any restarts</b> and stuff.
Bonus: <em>A quicker way</em>: Type "advanced share" and choose Manage advanced sharing settings
(this will guide you to step 5.)
Good Luck
