Share files between conmputer, one XP and one on W7
I installed a new router, connect to the internet and to connect two computers, one running XP, one on W7. Internet access for both is fine, they are on the same workgroup, etc.. This allows to work perfect for the previous router I had installed. Now I can't share files between computers, and yet all the settings seem to be OK. There are so many settings in XP, I've lost track. Network of form of WHAT XP installation disc does not work in W7, of course. What hideous setting I missed? What's wrong?

Share files between iMAC & Windows Vista and 7.
I have a 20 "iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.1. I used Bootcamp to install Vista Business ed. on part of the iMac. I use Vista Bs. ed. sp1. I also have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 Windows 7...How to share files and look at these different systems?
1 person needs an answer
You can share files between all of these systems. It is difficult for me to what you wrote if you want to share files with Windows 7 in OS X machine, but I have included this information in case you do. Because Vista is installed in training Camp, I have only included Win7 OS X sharing files and not Vista-OS X sharing files since you can't use both at the same time.
On Windows
Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx
Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.
A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.
(B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.
(C) in Vista, turn on password protected sharing. In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. In sharing advanced:

How can I share files between Windows 7 Pro and a Mac with os x?
I have Windows 7 Professional and my colleague had a Mac with os x installed. We are physically in the same room, sharing a wifi connection. How to share files between two computers? That each of them should do on his computer?
If you display links, please check beforehand that the procedure for the mac is here. I found in the internet or other of the procedures for older systems Win or network only between Win 7 PCs.

Of course, you can do it easily. In fact, the implementation of sharing on Win7 last month was almost as easy as it is on OS X. ;-) I find that the snow leopard has the same bugginess of show Windows machines only randomly in the sharing of the Finder section, as it did in Leopard, however. I usually connect to Windows machines by opening a window of Finder and using go > connect to server > smb://Windows-computer-name instead. In the Win7 box, I have the network to the desktop icon (you can get this to customize > change icon).
On OS X, make sure you have checked in the file sharing system preferences > sharing. Click the Options button, and then select "share files and folders using SMB." Add the shared directories as you wish.
You must create accounts/passwords user on the Mac and Windows 7. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines.

Because of the need to run some XP programs, I ordered Win7 Pro and installed a Virtual Machine with XP Mode.
Managed to get it going somehow, but does not connect to my home network (can't see any other computers, which seems to be common with the host of Win 7, but here, I managed to install quick links to other computers - they will not work in XP Mode), even if the Internet connection is working perfectly.
In addition, I can't find a way to share files with the host country, drive C appears to be different from that of the hosts with no common points (where it is currently stored beats me).
I can access a USB key, but only at a price to make it unavailable to the host and the attempt to release his capture when running XP Mode failed.

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.

The number of bits of the processor is not influence it. If you are having problems sharing files, the bit of the processor is just a coincidence.

Is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?
Hello world!
Quick question here: is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?
I have two users say that A and B. If I go the long way via the 'Go' menu > 'Computer', I ended up being told to contact my computer or the network administrator for assistance. Both users are admin one and file sharing is allowed in system preferences... I have to admit that I use 10.9.5 because my MacBook Pro would not work with OS Xs national parks.
Any ideas would be cool because I'm sure that it used to work fine with "Snow Leopard" without being connected to the internet - or should I just send an email to myself and recover the files on the other user :-) to recover my USB is
Choose go to folder from the Finder Go menu, provide/Users/Shared/as the path and place the files.

Cannot share files between two computers.
I want to be able to share files between my computer and my wife we have a home network and I can see the file sharing is enabled. When I go to the networks in Explorer:
1. I see her computer
2. He asks me a username and password. What is my user name or his.
3. password? Is the WiFi password, the home page group passes, my password of the computer or its password to the computer.I have not found a combination that works. I need to get this working so that we can both use Quickbooks. It would be useful for many other exchanges of files we currently do by e-mail. Note that we have no problem to access two network printers, or send files to a print server that manages our tracer.
Hello
Sorry for the late reply.
Method 1
I suggest leaving the homegroup and see if it helps.
Leave a homegroup
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/leave-a-HomeGroup
After that I suggest you refer to the procedure described in the following article and join in Group once more.
Method 2
I suggest you to temporarily disable the anti-virus by following the link below and check the State.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-softwareNote: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to 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, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Please let us know if the problem persists. We will be happy to help you further.

original title: file sharing problems.As far as I can remember, Media Center is XP Pro with additional multimedia functions. What follows is a very old post by MS MVP Malke, but the Council is still sound:
File sharing / print
Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx
For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).
Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.
A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet.

DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:
Configure Windows to login automatically (MVP Ramesh) -.
http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/Autologon.htm
D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).
E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.
F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure.
