Copy Files Across LAN
PC1 Win 7 Pro
PC2 Win XP Pro PC3 Win 7 Pro All in the same work group. Setup PC1 to share a folder. Not Simple to do. Dos anyone have a program to expedite this ? But was able to see PC1 on PC2 in my network places. So I found a subfolder there I wanted to use and mounted it as a drive letter on PC1. I copied 5 large files successfully. I had to log into PC1 from a window on PC2. It was the usual login if at PC1. I fiddled for an hour or two elsewhere and went to copy more files but it was not allowed to copy or even look at the folders in my network places from PC2. I went to PC3 and easily copied files from there to PC1. I think PC1 and PC3 are the same homegroup. What happened to disallow working from PC2 to PC1 ? |

Name or Link please. P.S. There's a small MS download available so XP pc's show up in Win7's "Network Map" display. |

It's a small exe (600Kb) named "350011_ENU_i386". It adds some protocol to XP so it's visible in Network Map. Not convenient to look at what that was as only pc I have runs XP anymore is old semi- retired laptop but it's likely the "Link Layer" stuff. You don't need any download or special program to see XP machines from within W7. However, W7 is crap at keeping its Network view up to date, so, after switching on any other Windows NetBIOS machine, what you often have to do to see it in W7 Explorer is View, Refresh. It also makes a difference which NetBIOS machine is the Master Browser. |

The file I have 350011_ENU_i386_zip__LLTD_WinXP_SP3.exe 649,464 bytes SHA1: 71B5AF30234EEBD24A373E9B681AF5D36F8C5F4B contains inside it, this file: Name: WindowsXP-KB922120-v6-x86-ENU.exe Size: 539 688 Modified: 2008-05-30 00:45:47 More background he https://community.linksys.com/t5/Wir...rk/td-p/200830 "Windows XP SP3 is supposed to fix this, but apparently it doesn't." Since archive.org is offline at the moment (fiber to it was cut), I can't check whether this is captured or not. Microsoft itself won't be serving this any more, but archive.org is likely to have a copy (perhaps later today it'll be back up). http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Paul |
