got two computers, one with xp pro, one with win7 pro. Win7 pro has shared folders that xp needs to access. I have been thru windows 7 network config and setup so no user/pass is required to access shared folders, have shared folders and added "everyone" to the list of permissions, but still when I try to access them from the xp machine, it asks for a user/pass. Surprisingly I can type in any user/pass and its accepted, I cant figure out why? even though its all working when I type in just anything for username and password then hit enter, it needs to go straight into the shared folders without requesing any user/pass. Any idea to solve this?
edit: I must also add its doing the same thing for any pc I try and connect from to the Win7 machine, asking for a user/pass to access shared folders and any user/pass works. Theres no domain, just a workgroup.
