windows 7 network to windows xp

One time I can see my xp on my network then next time I start my computer windows 7, I cannot see windows xp on my network what is happening ?

thank you

 

Are you perhaps a little too impatient by not waiting long enough for it to appear?

Have you tried typing the computer name into the address bar, e.g. \\HomeXP?

 

No I'm not impatient , I can be looking at my network and see all my computers in the network and then some of them are gone can't see them no more then I have to go into networking troubleshooting and check off can't see computers and it tells me it fix it and I reboot and I can see all my computers in the network for how long don't no keeps doing that is there a fix?

 

I go to network trouble shooting and it doe's a fix and I reboot and I can see all my computers on my network but when I restart my computer I have to do the same fix again every time is there a fix for this? here is what it tells me in the details below.

User identified problems fix

 

if I put my ip address in search I can bring up my xp and see it in windows 7, but if I don't do that I cannot see it in my network in windows 7

 

bobm735, you're giving yourself grief when you don't need it. Of course, one isn't supposed to admit that Networking in Windows isn't near as easy or perfect as some are saying.

Network Magic - use it - it'll save you a lot of pain.

 

thank you , I use to use Network Magic not sure if they have Network Magic for windows 7 64 bit but I will check .

 

I'm using Network Magic and I have Windows 7 Home Premium / 64 Bit. This program is 110% !!! Let us know how you make out with it. :-}

 

will network magic mess up my router settings if I install it ?

 

Nope - I installed on my Router and everything is working here 110%.

 

thank you , I called support network magic and they said my 4.9 version is still good and it might work on win 7- 64 bit I still have my key number so I'll give it a try.

 

You'll find it ok - keep us posted.

 

Hi I installed network magic 4.9 and so far its working great thank you

 

Good!!! I'm only new to this program as of last week, but I installed it on three computers and believe me - it saved me from hurling myself out through the basement window. Glad it worked and is working!!!

 

Hi again problem, when I click on my shared folders in my home networking I have network magic installed now, it tells me I don't have permission so I can't open any folders they show shared.

 

I'm new to this program myself but here's what you could try - make sure Network Magic is installed on all your machines. If that's a no go, try troubleshooting - then of course, there's support which is free. Let us know how you're doing.

I'm surprised no one else has come in on this - everyone here must be a fan of Network Magic I suppose.

 

I had network magic support today go on my computer with remote and they said the problem is with my one windows xp they don't no why the shared folders won't open on xp.

 

Weird and wonderful - I have Network Magic installed on Windows XP / Vista / and Windows 7 - I'm kind of wishing I could get a problem just to enjoy the experience of it all.

Someone on this forum should have a clue (or maybe they don't) as to what is the snag. If you overcome it from help on another forum, let me know Bob. Thanks!
