File Sharing

You also have to select whether you want to give Read or Read/Write access

One suggestion that worked for me:
Open Library (windows Explorer) -click on the folder you want to share
(I.e. documents), right click and select "Share with", Select "specific
People", Type Everyone on the add field, click ADD, the click on share .
That resolved my problems. I did in all my Windows 7 machines.

I have two desktops and a laptop on my home network. One of the
desktops has Windows 7 Home Premium, the other two have XP, SP3. I
can access files on the other machines from the Windows 7 machine, but
have not been able to access files on the Windows 7 machine from the
XP computers. It looks like Homegroup is the only way to file share
in Windows 7 and, of course, I can't use Homegroup on the XP
computers. Is there a way to set up file sharing other than
installing Windows 7 on all the machines?
