Many cases experienced by someone when they want to connect one computer to another computer over a network. In this case, a lot happening on windows 7 that will be connected to the Windows XP PC. Windows 7 won’t recognize Windows XP PC. Why did its happen?. Its happen because Windows 7 has a different way of setting with Windows xp. There are a few tips to solve this problem :
- Don’t set up “Homegroup” for networking in Windows 7.
Homegroup only works with Windows 7 computers and will not talk to your XP computer. - You must set up “Work network”.
a. Go to Control Panel (Start -> Control Panel)
b. Choose Network and Sharing Center.
c. Click the link under View your active networks
(if you’ve set up a Homegroup,the link should say “home network”).
d. In the next window choose Work network
(that will switch you from a homegroup to a workgroup so your two computers can talk to each other).
e. Before you can network the computers, you must assign the same workgroup name to both of them and SHARE folders in Explorer.
