Home network Windows 7 and XP: can map drives etc network but not to synchronize OneNote
Hi all
I have a Windows 7 laptop and a desktop XP SP3, all connected with happiness to a wireless router. On both machines, I have the very underrated and generally wonderful notes 2007, which I rely on for the study. I'm reasonably texh-savvy, but I don't know what I don't know, so it is very likely I missed something very obvious.
I can update my OneNote notebooks on the Win 7 to XP machine fine machine, but the Win 7 machine does not update the notebooks on my XP machine without asking for a password.
I checked the following:
- They both share the same group, the WORKING group.
- The OneNote Notebooks folder properties have 'action' and 'allow other users to update' boxes ticked on the tab share
- The Windows 7 laptop can 'see' the Office XP on the network, but by double-clicking on the icon on desktop XP asks for a password
- When you look at the map of the network, the XP machine is nestled on the corner and not shown to be 'joined' to the router
- Portable Win 7 I can map a network drive by using the IP address to a shared folder on the XP machine and move files without any problem
- "File and Printer Sharing" on the Panel of control-> connections-> 'Properties of the wireless network' network is checked
- Both machines have static IP addresses
- I don't put passwords for each machine
- My computer-> tools-> Folder Options-> enable Simple file sharing is checked
- Guest account is enabled on the XP machine
- Password protected sharing is DISABLED on the Win 7 machine
I suspect that there is something that I have not checked/unchecked somewhere on my XP machine.
Why is the Win 7 computer phone harassment me a password when you try to synchronize a OneNote or click the icon under 'network '?
Y at - it an exhaustive list of things that I should check or an article somewhere that covers this? I googled loads, but only have mounted artuicles cloud sharing with OneNote 2010 and sharing of files between Windows 7 and XP, nothing on a password is requested during the synchronization of the OneNote files!
Thanks in advance for your help. I know the legacy tech support is a royal PITA, and I promise you that I will be upgrading to a more sensitive setting when I have the dosh, but in the meantime, I would appreciate some advice! :)
Hi dogsolitude_uk,
Follow these methods.
Method 1: Follow the steps in the article.
Networking of computers running different versions of Windows
Method 2: Temporarily disable the security software.
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
