Problem of file sharing between Windows 7 and Vista using a working group

I use a working group and have a shared folder on a computer that is running Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm trying to access the file from a computer on the same workgroup that is running Vista Business. It requires a username and password that I turn off password protected sharing on both computers and tried all combinations of accounts and passwords on both computers, but can not get access to the file. I'm sure I'm missing something and you would appreciate the help.

Hello TamiRigby,

Take a look at this thread for instructions with reset the permissions file and folder to a specific folder in Windows Vista:
I suggest you try this with the file you are having problems sharing.

  • Problem to create the Internet connection sharing between Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    Original title: Internet connection sharing between Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    Hello

    Recently, I plugged a laptop running Windows XP to a desktop computer running Windows Vista using a standard Ethernet cable with the intention of use sharing of Internet connection. The notebook contains a wireless connection that I've routed to the office via the cable said.  While the initial phase of installation went well (I was too lazy to do it manually, so I just used the Wizard "Set up a home or small business network" Windows XP,) I had to turn off the host computer to install a program. When I tried to set up ICS again, I couldn't connect to the Internet by using ICS. After this failure, I tried to configure the properties of TC/IPv4 (IP, gateway by default, etc.) manually, but I still couldn't run.  I am able to access the shared host PC and client files. It seems to me that some service essential to the proper functioning of the ICS may be disabled in some way, but it's just speculation, as I have no evidence of such a service. Help would be most appreciated.

    Thank you

    I tried this before using a laptop to share internet with my 360.  problem is there was Nat on the router, and it is in contradiction with the ics.

    Anyway long story short I did some research on the Internet and discovered that if you're behind a router ICS will be confllict with her, as ICS also does routing. a much better option is to "bridge the conections ' on the laptop.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/hnw_bridge_install.mspx?mfr=true

    If you go this route, you need to set a static ip address for the office,

    Either that or if you want to continue using ICS put the laptop in the DMZ in the router may help, but it will be less secure.

    Hope that this helped good luck

  • share and access files between windows 7 and vista sp1

    sharing between vista and windows 7 does not work, Windows 7 - > vista does not work, but from vista to windows7 works.

  • Sharing files between Windows 7 and Windows XP suddenly stops working

    I have a set up working groups between Windows 7 and Windows XP computers.  I don't usually have a problem of file sharing, but suddenly XP computers do not connect to the server from Windows 7.  It will work for a while and then stops.  In order to solve this problem, I have to restart the server from Windows 7.  However, this problem occurs more and more and I would have preferred to find a permanent solution.  I checked all the normal solutions (IE firewall, no passwords, etc.), but I still have this problem.  I'm sure that all my settings are correct, as I am able to connect most of the time, but I know that there must be a solution out there to fix it permanently.

    I read a post that I'm not sure is related to my question:

    This problem may occur if the IRPStackSize registry entry on the server is set too low. I was unable to connect to the XP PC from any other PC on the network. Set ip 15 and problems went

    If that is related, please let me know.

    What is a patch that I need to download for XP computers?

    Any help would be grateful.  Thank you!

    I suspect that the limit is 5 concurrent connections for Windows 7 Home Premium, but I still need to find a reference book Microsoft.

  • How to share files between Windows XP and Windows 7 without password?

    Hey guys, I want to share files between windows 7 and windows XP. I don't want to put the password on my Windows 7 or Windows XP account. I am going on my Windows XP perfectly shared files from Windows 7, but I am not able to go on my files of windows 7, the cause of my XP he asks user name and password. I enter the user name and it does not accept it if I make a password for my windows 7 and enter as the user name... I don't know what to do guys any help?

    Windows 7 only WILL NOT allow you to share files without a password, it's all just a common sense safety requirement.  It of a very bad practice to run your Windows installations with a null value, a password, give your facility a valid password.

    The simplest around your problem is to create an account with the same names and passwords on each machine and so typed the password when the connection is too a problem allow AutoLogon on the machines.

  • Sharable desktop to any number (say up to 50) of users in Windows XP and Vista when all are connected to a wireless ad-hoc network? Or is there a limit on the number of users that can be shared? ___Thanks

    Need to have this configuration in a classroom environment.

    I don't know what you mean when you ask a desktop or sharing users.

    A network computer can share files and printers with other computers, but there are limits that might make it unusable for you.  Windows XP and Vista allow 5 or 10 concurrent connections by other computers, depending on the version.

    You need an operating system of Windows Server or Linux server to allow for more concurrent connections to shared files and printers.

    I also fear that an ad - hoc network does not work well with 50 computers.

  • What is the difference between Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail?

    Separated from this thread.

    I realize that starting from 7/11, Windows Live is more effective on my Windows Vista system.  I understand that and I have since beengetting my Hotmail acc't workingusing only Windows Live Mail.  This am, I tried to create a new account hotmail for my friend, but we couldn't get it to accept and just stopped trying.  Now, today, I can not send any e-mail because "you cannot configure Windows Mail to use a web (HTTP) that is running Windows Vista based."  WHA?  I managed somehow to get into Windows Live when I tried to get a new account hotmail for my friend?  Also, I also receive a message from the Assistant on "you want to want to leave, you have not created your new account?  (probably not the exact wording).  In response, I clicked Yes and no, and still I can't get out of this Windows Live.  I would like to purge my system of this needless to Windows Live and only use Windows Live Mail.  Can someone help me to do this?  (My knowledge of couputer is at a basic level, so hopefully it won't be too difficult to understand.)  Thank you!!!

    (With the HTTP mess), it seems Windows Mail and Windows LIVE Mail are two very different things.

    I am not a technician, but try to stay up-to-date. I have known that Vista sucks because it came out, but it surprised me, never have used before today. So I wonder...  Windows LIVE Mail can be installed on a Vista unit, and if so he would remove the format HTTP bug? It's all THE Microsoft, after all! On my PC with Windows 7 HP with complete Essentials, including Live Mail (for PC, to avoid confusion with the version online), I have not had any problems to Hotmail at work, send or receive. GMail also, no problem, the only thing I did NOT like about Live Mail is that it doesn't have the handy function "Sweep" that I love, I just go online to own things very quickly. With only Windows Mail (which I assume is supplied with Vista), it won't let me even try to set-up Hotmail/Outlook account. It's stupid, because like I said it's all EM!

    peace ~

    Windows Mail is the e-mail that comes with client program and a part of Windows Vista. Windows Live Mail is a program available for free download; It is an e-mail client, the timing, the Manager contacts, aggregator and newsreader at a single feeding program.

    Until a few years ago, it was possible to synchronize the Hotmail accounts with e-mail clients on Windows XP and Vista (Outlook Express and Windows Mail respectively) using WebDAV over HTTP protocol. This method has been deprecated after a long sequence of initialization in September 2009. Before that date, POP3 access has been made available for all Hotmail accounts. At any time it was not possible to access Hotmail email clients accounts. There is no bug involved here, nor in HTTP format or anything else.

    Windows Live Mail is built to use a different former WebDAV protocol; DeltaSync protocol allows the synchronization of e-mail folders, contacts, and calendars between client and server.

    You may be able to download the installer for Windows Live Mail 2011 of this page: How to install Windows Essentials while offline? Do not try to include Windows Live Writer or Messenger in the installation; None of them will work and you can gum up toward the top of the entire installation Essentials if you do. It may be better to stick to one mail at first. Windows Live Mail 2011 is the latest version which runs on Vista.

  • Windows 7 and vista limit the number of files to select and print or open to 15. Need a work around to push this limit.

    Windows 7 (and Vista) when you select more than 15 files in Explorer, the 'Print' and 'Open' selections under the 'File' menu disappear.  This is very annoying, because I work with a lot of text files and selecting them 15 at once is heavy and prone to errors.  I need a work around to raise this limit to about 60.  I never had no problem to do under XP or previous editions of windows.  I have a fast computer or memory but windows 7 won't let me use it: it of like buying a ferrari and the merchant sends a padlock on the accelerator and said "...". you will son... This is for your own safety! "It's very frustrating.

    Maybe, it's a limitation of the program that you use to open the files. I use Windows Live Photo Gallery, and even if I select more than 500 files at the same time, the open and print commands can be used.

    By the way: the number of places of a Ferrari is very limited. ;-)

  • Store of data sharing between 4 ESX and ESXi 5

    Hello

    I have a vSphere environment 4.1 with a vCenter and a cluster of 3 ESX 4.1 access to the content of data through fiberchanel (type scneario) warehouses.

    And now I need to install a new ESXi 5.x (cannot be a different version) in a separate environment, outside of the current vCenter, BUT to access the warehouses of data even as the cluster of vSphere 4 current.

    Anyone know if there should be no problem sharing between 4 ESX and ESXi 5 access to the same data storage?

    Thanks in advance

    As long as the FC zoning is configured properly, avoid all the problems.   ESXi 5 will be able to see the data created by ESX4 VMFS3 stores, it will not be able to create the same size of virtual machine he can on a 5 VMFS datastore.
