Raven123 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hi. I have a network problem. My windows 7 machine is not detecting win xp machine whereas win xp machine is detecting win 7 machine.They are in the same workgroup named Workgroup. And the networking system is set to Work.I enabled file sharing for devices that use 40 bit and 50 bit encryption.On XP I have enabled NetBios over TCP/IP.File sharing is enabled on both computers. Thank you for your assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I had a similar problem until recently. I found out that ZoneAlarm on Windows XP prevented detection by Windows 7. Removing ZoneAlarm (and activating Windows Firewall) resolved the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that the network is ok.I can access the windows xp computer from the windows 7 by typing its name in the run box.It just does not show in the network window.That is no problem for me so I consider this solved.
